gltv@Hosea:1:1 @ The word of Jehovah that was 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.

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

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

gltv@Hosea:1:4 @ And Jehovah said to him, Call his name God Will Sow, for yet in a little while I will call to account the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.

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

gltv@Hosea:1:6 @ And she conceived again and bore a daughter. And He said to him, Call her name No Mercy, for I will not again still have mercy on the house of Israel; but I will completely take them away.

gltv@Hosea:1:7 @ And I will have mercy on the house of Judah and will save them by Jehovah their God. And I will not save them by bow or by sword, or by battle, by horses, or by horsemen.

gltv@Hosea:1:8 @ And she having weaned No Mercy, she conceived and bore a son.

gltv@Hosea:1:9 @ Then He said, Call his name Not My People, for you are not My people, and I will not be for you.

gltv@Hosea:1:10 @ Yet the number of the sons of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which is not measured nor numbered. And it shall be, in the place where it is said to them, You are not My people, it shall be said to them, Sons of the Living God.

gltv@Hosea:1:11 @ And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel shall be gathered together, and shall set over themselves one head. And they shall go up out of the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

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

gltv@Hosea:2:2 @ Strive! Strive with your mother, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Therefore, let her put away her harlotries from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts,

gltv@Hosea:2:3 @ that I not strip her naked and set her out as in the day that she was born, and make her as the wilderness, and place her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

gltv@Hosea:2:4 @ And I will not have pity for her sons, for they are the sons of harlotries.

gltv@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother has prostituted herself; she who conceived them has acted 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.

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

gltv@Hosea:2:7 @ And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them. And she shall look for them, but she 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.

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

gltv@Hosea:2:9 @ So I will return and take My grain in its time, and My wine in its season. And I will take back My wool and My flax she uses to cover her nakedness.

gltv@Hosea:2:10 @ And now I will uncover her shamefulness to the eyes of her lovers, and a man shall not deliver her out of My hand.

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

gltv@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 set them for a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.

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

gltv@Hosea:2:14 @ Therefore, behold, I will lure her and bring her to the wilderness, and speak to her heart.

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

gltv@Hosea:2:16 @ And at that day, says Jehovah, you shall call Me, My husband; and you shall no more call me, My Baal.

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

gltv@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 sky, and the creeping things of the ground. And I will break the bow and the sword, and the battle out of the earth, and I will make them to lie down safely.

gltv@Hosea:2:19 @ And I will betroth you to Me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in mercy, and in compassions.

gltv@Hosea:2:20 @ I will even betroth you to Me in faithfulness. And you shall know Jehovah.

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

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

gltv@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!

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

gltv@Hosea:3:2 @ So I bought her for myself with fifteen pieces of silver, and for a homer of barley, and a half of barley.

gltv@Hosea:3:3 @ And I said to her, You shall stay with me many days. You shall not be a harlot, nor be to a man; and I also will be for you.

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

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

gltv@Hosea:4:1 @ Sons of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah, for Jehovah has a quarrel with the inhabitants of the land; for there is no truth, and no mercy, and no knowledge of God in the land.

gltv@Hosea:4:2 @ Swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and the committing of adultery increase. And blood touches against blood.

gltv@Hosea:4:3 @ On account of this the land shall mourn, and every one living in it shall droop, with the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven; yes, also the fish of the sea shall be removed.

gltv@Hosea:4:4 @ Yet let not a man strive with nor reprove a man. For your people are as a priest striven with.

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

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

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

gltv@Hosea:4:8 @ They eat up the sin of My people, and they lift their vitality to their iniquity.

gltv@Hosea:4:9 @ And it will be, Like people, like priest. And I will visit their ways on them and repay them for their deeds.

gltv@Hosea:4:10 @ For they shall eat and not have enough. They shall fornicate and not increase, because they have ceased heeding Jehovah.

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

gltv@Hosea:4:12 @ My people seek advice by their wooden idols, and their rod declares to them. For the spirit of harlotry has led them astray, and they fornicated from under their God.

gltv@Hosea:4:13 @ They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains and burn incense on the hills, under oak and poplar and terebinth, because its shade is good. On account of this, your daughters shall prostitute, and your brides shall commit adultery.

gltv@Hosea:4:14 @ I will not punish your daughters when they fornicate, nor your brides 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 thrust down.

gltv@Hosea:4:15 @ Israel, though you fornicate, do not let Judah become guilty. And do not come to Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As Jehovah lives.

gltv@Hosea:4:16 @ For Israel rebels, like a rebellious heifer. Now Jehovah will feed them as a lamb in a roomy place.

gltv@Hosea:4:17 @ Ephraim is joined to idols. Let him alone.

gltv@Hosea:4:18 @ Their drink is sour. They are continually fornicating. Her shields dearly love shame.

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

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

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

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

gltv@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 do not know Jehovah.

gltv@Hosea:5:5 @ And the pride of Israel answers to his face. So Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity. Judah shall also stumble with them.

gltv@Hosea:5:6 @ They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah, but they shall not find; He has withdrawn Himself from them.

gltv@Hosea:5:7 @ They have acted treacherously against Jehovah, for they have brought forth strange sons. Now a new moon shall devour them with their portions.

gltv@Hosea:5:8 @ Blow a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah. Cry aloud, Bethaven; after you, O Benjamin.

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

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

gltv@Hosea:5:11 @ Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment; because he was pleased, he walked after the command.

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

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

gltv@Hosea:5:14 @ For I am to Ephraim as the lion, and as the young lion to the house of Judah; I, even I, tear and go; I take away, and no one rescues.

gltv@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.

gltv@Hosea:6:1 @ Come and let us return to Jehovah. For He has torn, and He will heal us. He has stricken, and He will bind us up.

gltv@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 before Him.

gltv@Hosea:6:3 @ Then we shall know, we who follow on to know Jehovah. His going forth is established as the dawn. And He shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.

gltv@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 it goes away like the early dew.

gltv@Hosea:6:5 @ So I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth; and your judgments have been as the light that goes forth.

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

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

gltv@Hosea:6:8 @ Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity, slippery with blood marks.

gltv@Hosea:6:9 @ And as troops of robbers wait for a man, the company of priests murder in the way to Shechem; for they have done wickedness.

gltv@Hosea:6:10 @ I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: the fornication of Ephraim is there; Israel is defiled.

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

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

gltv@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.

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

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

gltv@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.

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

gltv@Hosea:7:7 @ They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen; not one among them calls to Me.

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

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

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

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

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

gltv@Hosea:7:13 @ Woe to them! For they have fled from Me. Ruin to them! For they have transgressed against Me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against Me.

gltv@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; they turn against Me.

gltv@Hosea:7:15 @ Though I bound, I made their arms strong; yet they think evil against Me.

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

gltv@Hosea:8:1 @ Put a horn to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of Jehovah, because they have broken My covenant and have sinned against My law.

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

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

gltv@Hosea:8:4 @ They have set up kings, but not by Me. They have made rulers, but I did not know. They made idols for themselves with their silver and their gold, so that they may be cut off.

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

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

gltv@Hosea:8:7 @ For they sow the wind, and they reap the whirlwind. He has no stalk; the bud shall make no flour. If it does make it, strangers will swallow it up.

gltv@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up. They are now among the nations as a vessel in which is no pleasure.

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

gltv@Hosea:8:10 @ Yes, 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.

gltv@Hosea:8:11 @ Because Ephraim has made many altars to sin, they are altars to him to sin.

gltv@Hosea:8:12 @ I will write the great things of My law for him. They were counted as a strange thing.

gltv@Hosea:8:13 @ They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of My offerings, and they eat. Jehovah did not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins. They shall return to Egypt.

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

gltv@Hosea:9:1 @ O Israel, do not rejoice for joy, like the peoples. For you have gone lusting away from your God. You have loved a reward on all threshing-floors of grain.

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

gltv@Hosea:9:3 @ They shall not live in the land of Jehovah. But Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

gltv@Hosea:9:4 @ They shall not offer wine to Jehovah. They shall not be pleasing to Him. Their sacrifices shall be like the bread of sorrows to them; all who eat it shall be defiled, for their bread is for their person; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.

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

gltv@Hosea:9:6 @ For, lo, they have gone from destruction. Egypt shall gather them; Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess the desirable things of their silver; thorns shall be in their tents.

gltv@Hosea:9:7 @ The days of her visitation have come; the days of retribution have come. Israel shall know. The prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is insane, because of the greatness of your iniquity and your great hatred

gltv@Hosea:9:8 @ Ephraim is a watchman with my God. The prophet is a snare of a fowler on all his ways; hatred is in the house of his God.

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

gltv@Hosea:9:10 @ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the firstfruit in the fig tree at her first time. They came to Baal-peor and set themselves apart to a shameful thing. And they became hateful like that which they loved.

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

gltv@Hosea:9:12 @ Though they nourish their sons, yet I will make them childless, without a man. Yea, woe also to them when I turn away from them!

gltv@Hosea:9:13 @ As when I looked toward Tyre, Ephraim was planted in a pleasant place. But Ephraim shall bring forth his sons to the slayer.

gltv@Hosea:9:14 @ O Jehovah, give them. What will you give them? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

gltv@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 not love them again; all their rulers are revolters.

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

gltv@Hosea:9:17 @ My God shall reject them because they did not listen to Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

gltv@Hosea:10:1 @ Israel is a luxuriant vine; he bears fruit for himself. According to the plenty of his fruit he has increased the altars. They have made beautiful images according to the goodness of his land.

gltv@Hosea:10:2 @ their heart is divided. Now they shall be guilty. He will break down their altars; He will spoil their pillars.

gltv@Hosea:10:3 @ For now they shall say, We have no king, because we did not fear Jehovah. What then should a king do for us?

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

gltv@Hosea:10:5 @ The people of Samaria shall dread because of the calves of Beth-aven. For its people shall mourn over it; also its priests who rejoiced on it for its glory, because it has departed from it.

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

gltv@Hosea:10:7 @ Samaria is cut off; her king is as a bough on the face of the water.

gltv@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!

gltv@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.

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

gltv@Hosea:10:11 @ And Ephraim is a trained heifer, loving to tread out. But I passed over on the goodness of her neck; I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow; Jacob shall break clods for him.

gltv@Hosea:10:12 @ Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap as mercy. Break up your plowed ground. For it is time to seek Jehovah, until He comes and rains righteousness on you.

gltv@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.

gltv@Hosea:10:14 @ And an uproar shall rise up among your peoples. And all your strongholds shall be spoiled, as the ruin of Beth-arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces on her sons.

gltv@Hosea:10:15 @ So He does to you, Bethel, because of your great evil. In the dawn, the king of Israel shall be completely cut off.

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

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

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

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

gltv@Hosea:11:5 @ He shall not return to the land of Egypt, but he of Assyria shall be his king, because they refused to return.

gltv@Hosea:11:6 @ And the sword shall grieve in his cities, and shall destroy his bars, and shall consume, because of their own counsels.

gltv@Hosea:11:7 @ And My people are bent on backsliding from Me. And they call him to the Most High; no one at all would exalt Him.

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

gltv@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 a man, the Holy One in your midst. And I will not enter into the city.

gltv@Hosea:11:10 @ They shall walk after Jehovah; He shall roar as a lion. When He roars, then sons shall tremble from the west.

gltv@Hosea:11:11 @ They trembled like a bird from Egypt, and like a dove from the land of Assyria. And I will make them live in their houses, says Jehovah.

gltv@Hosea:11:12 @ Ephraim circles around Me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah still rules with God and is faithful with the saints.

gltv@Hosea:12:1 @ Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind; all the day he multiplies lies and ruin. And they cut a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.

gltv@Hosea:12:2 @ Jehovah also has a quarrel with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; He will repay him according to his deeds.

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

gltv@Hosea:12:4 @ Yes, he wept and pleaded to Him, and he contended with the Angel and overcame. He found us at Bethel, and He spoke with us there,

gltv@Hosea:12:5 @ even Jehovah, the God of hosts. Jehovah is his memorial.

gltv@Hosea:12:6 @ For this reason, you return to your God; keep mercy and judgment, and wait on your God continually.

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

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

gltv@Hosea:12:9 @ And I am Jehovah, your God from the land of Egypt; yet I will make you live in tents, as in the days of appointed assembly.

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

gltv@Hosea:12:11 @ Is Gilead evil? Surely they have been vanity. They sacrificed bulls in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the field.

gltv@Hosea:12:12 @ And Jacob fled into the field of Syria, and Israel served for a wife; yea, he shepherded for a wife.

gltv@Hosea:12:13 @ And by a prophet Jehovah brought up Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was kept safe.

gltv@Hosea:12:14 @ Ephraim has provoked Me to anger most bitterly. And He shall leave his blood to him, and his Lord shall turn his reproach to him.

gltv@Hosea:13:1 @ When Ephraim spoke trembling, he was lifted up in Israel. But he offended in Baal, and he died.

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

gltv@Hosea:13:3 @ So they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passes away, as chaff storm driven from the threshing floor, and as the smoke out of the window.

gltv@Hosea:13:4 @ Yet I am Jehovah, your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall know no other gods than Me. For there is no Savior besides Me.

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

gltv@Hosea:13:6 @ According to their pasture, so they were filled. They were filled, and their heart was lifted up. On account of this they have forgotten Me.

gltv@Hosea:13:7 @ Now I am as a lion to them; I will watch by the way like a leopard.

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

gltv@Hosea:13:9 @ O Israel, you are destroyed, but your help is in Me.

gltv@Hosea:13:10 @ Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And where are your judges of whom you said, Give to me a king and rulers?

gltv@Hosea:13:11 @ I gave to you a king in My anger, and took him away in My fury.

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

gltv@Hosea:13:13 @ The pains of a woman in travail shall come to him; he is not a wise son, for he cannot stand still in the time of the breaking forth of sons.

gltv@Hosea:13:14 @ I will ransom them from the hand of Sheol; I will redeem them from death. O death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your ruin? Repentance is hidden from My eyes.

gltv@Hosea:13:15 @ Though he is fruitful among brothers, an east wind shall come. The wind of Jehovah 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.

gltv@Hosea:13:16 @ Samaria shall be desolate, 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.

gltv@Hosea:14:1 @ O Israel, return to Jehovah your God, for you have fallen by your sin.

gltv@Hosea:14:2 @ Take words with you and return to Jehovah. Say to Him, Take away all iniquity and receive us well, that we may repay with the calves of our lips.

gltv@Hosea:14:3 @ Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride on horses. We shall not say any more to the work of our hands, Our gods! For in You the fatherless finds mercy.

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

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

gltv@Hosea:14:6 @ His branches shall go out, and his beauty shall be like the olive tree, and his scent as Lebanon to Him.

gltv@Hosea:14:7 @ They who live under his shadow shall return; they shall live like the grain, and blossom like the vine; their memorial shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

gltv@Hosea:14:8 @ Ephraim shall say, What is to me any more with idols? I eyed him, and I surveyed him. I am as a green cypress tree; your fruit is found from Me.

gltv@Hosea:14:9 @ Who is wise and discerns these things? Who is discerning and knows them? For the ways of Jehovah are right, and the righteous shall walk in them; but transgressors shall stumble in them.

gltv@Joel:1:1 @ The word of Jehovah that was to Joel, the son of Pethuel:

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

gltv@Joel:1:3 @ Tell your sons about it, and your sons to their sons, and their sons to another generation.

gltv@Joel:1:4 @ What was left by the cutter, the swarming locust ate; and that left of the swarming locust, the locust larvae ate; and that left of the locust larvae, the stripping locust ate.

gltv@Joel:1:5 @ Awake, drunkards, and weep. And wail, all wine drinkers, over the grape must, for it is cut off from your mouth.

gltv@Joel:1:6 @ For a nation has come up on my land, strong and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the jaw teeth of a lioness.

gltv@Joel:1:7 @ He has laid my vine waste and has splintered my fig tree. He has stripped it, and he threw it away; its branches grow white.

gltv@Joel:1:8 @ Wail like a virgin girded with sackcloth over the husband of her youth.

gltv@Joel:1:9 @ The food offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of Jehovah; the priests, Jehovah's ministers, mourn.

gltv@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.

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

gltv@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.

gltv@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.

gltv@Joel:1:14 @ Set apart a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the elders, all the inhabitants of the land, into the house of Jehovah your God, and cry to Jehovah.

gltv@Joel:1:15 @ Alas for the day! For the day of Jehovah is at hand. And it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

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

gltv@Joel:1:17 @ The seed shrivels under their clods; the storage bins are laid waste, the granaries are broken down, for the grain has dried up.

gltv@Joel:1:18 @ How the beasts groan! The herds of livestock are vexed, for there is no pasture for them. Even the flocks of sheep are perishing.

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

gltv@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.

gltv@Joel:2:1 @ Blow a ram's horn in Zion, and shout an alarm in My holy mountain. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble. For the day of Jehovah approaches; it is near,

gltv@Joel:2:2 @ a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread out on the mountains, a great and a strong people. There has never been the like, nor shall there ever be again to the years of many generations;

gltv@Joel:2:3 @ a fire devours before it, and a flame burns behind it. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them is a desolate wilderness; yea, also there is no escape to them.

gltv@Joel:2:4 @ Their appearance is like horses; and as war horses, so they run.

gltv@Joel:2:5 @ They shall leap like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains, like the noise of flames of fire that devour the chaff, as a strong people set in order for battle.

gltv@Joel:2:6 @ Before their face, the people shall be pained; all faces collect heat.

gltv@Joel:2:7 @ They shall run as mighty ones; they shall go up the wall as men of war. And they each go on his way, and they do not change their paths.

gltv@Joel:2:8 @ And each does not press his brother; they each go in his paths. And if they fall behind their weapon, they shall not be cut off.

gltv@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 by the windows, like a thief.

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

gltv@Joel:2:11 @ And Jehovah shall give His voice before His army, for His camp is very great. For he who does His word is strong. For the day of Jehovah is very great and terrifying, and who can endure it?

gltv@Joel:2:12 @ Yet even now turn to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning, declares Jehovah.

gltv@Joel:2:13 @ Yea, tear your heart, and not your robes; and turn to Jehovah your God. For He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and He pities concerning the evil.

gltv@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 for Jehovah your God?

gltv@Joel:2:15 @ Blow a ram's horn in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly.

gltv@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 out of his room, and the bride out of her room.

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

gltv@Joel:2:18 @ Then Jehovah will be jealous for His land and have pity on His people.

gltv@Joel:2:19 @ Yea, Jehovah 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.

gltv@Joel:2:20 @ But I will remove the northern army far from you, and I will drive him into a dry and desolated 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.

gltv@Joel:2:21 @ Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice, for Jehovah is doing great things.

gltv@Joel:2:22 @ Fear not, beasts of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness grow green, for the tree bears its fruit, the fig tree and the vine give their strength.

gltv@Joel:2:23 @ Then be glad, sons of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God. For He has given to you the early rain according to righteousness, and He will cause the rain to come down for you, the early rain and the latter rain in the first month.

gltv@Joel:2:24 @ And the floors shall be full with grain, and the wine vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

gltv@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.

gltv@Joel:2:26 @ And you shall eat fully and be satisfied; and you shall praise the name of Jehovah your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And My people shall not be ashamed forever.

gltv@Joel:2:27 @ And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and there is no other. And My people shall not be ashamed forever.

gltv@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.

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

gltv@Joel:2:30 @ And I will give signs in the heavens and in the earth: blood, and fire, and columns of smoke.

gltv@Joel:2:31 @ The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of Jehovah.

gltv@Joel:2:32 @ For it shall be, all who shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be saved. For salvation shall be in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, as Jehovah has said, and among the saved whom Jehovah shall call.

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

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

gltv@Joel:3:3 @ And they have cast lots for My people. And they have given a boy for a prostitute and sold a girl for wine, and they drank.

gltv@Joel:3:4 @ And also, what are you to Me, Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you restoring repayment to Me? And if you are repaying Me, I will turn your reward on your own head, swiftly, speedily,

gltv@Joel:3:5 @ in that you have taken My silver and My gold and have carried My good treasures to your temples.

gltv@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.

gltv@Joel:3:7 @ Behold, I am arousing them from the place where you have sold them, and will return your reward on your own head.

gltv@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 nation far off. For Jehovah has spoken it.

gltv@Joel:3:9 @ Proclaim this among the nations: Sanctify a war; awaken the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near; let them come up.

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

gltv@Joel:3:11 @ Gather yourselves and come, all you nations; and gather yourselves together all around. O Jehovah, bring down Your mighty ones.

gltv@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.

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

gltv@Joel:3:14 @ Multitudes, multitudes in valley of decision! For the day of Jehovah is near in the valley of decision.

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

gltv@Joel:3:16 @ And Jehovah roars from Zion, and He gives His voice from Jerusalem. And the heavens and the earth quake. But Jehovah is a refuge for His people and a fortress to the sons of Israel.

gltv@Joel:3:17 @ And you shall know that I am Jehovah your God dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. And Jerusalem shall be a holy thing, and aliens shall no more pass through her.

gltv@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 streams of Judah shall flow with waters. And a fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, and it shall water the valley of Shittim.

gltv@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.

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

gltv@Joel:3:21 @ And I will cleanse their blood which I did not cleanse. And Jehovah is dwelling in Zion.

gltv@Amos:1:1 @ The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, 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.

gltv@Amos:1:2 @ And he said: Jehovah 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.

gltv@Amos:1:3 @ So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for they have threshed Gilead with threshing sledges of iron.

gltv@Amos:1:4 @ But I will send a fire against the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.

gltv@Amos:1:5 @ I will also break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant of the Valley of Aven, and him who holds the scepter from Beth-eden. And the people of Syria shall go captive to Kir, says Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:1:6 @ So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for they deported as exiles to deliver up a complete population to Edom.

gltv@Amos:1:7 @ But I will send a fire against the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour its palaces.

gltv@Amos:1:8 @ And I will cut off Ashdod's dwellers and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon; and I will turn My hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the Lord Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:1:9 @ So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for they delivered up as exiles a complete population to Edom and did not remember the covenant of brothers.

gltv@Amos:1:10 @ But I will send a fire against the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour its palaces.

gltv@Amos:1:11 @ So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for he pursued his brother with the sword, and corrupted his compassions, and his anger tore continually, and he kept it, his wrath, forever.

gltv@Amos:1:12 @ But I will send a fire against Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

gltv@Amos:1:13 @ So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, to make their border larger.

gltv@Amos:1:14 @ But I will kindle a fire against the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour its palaces, with a war cry in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the windstorm.

gltv@Amos:1:15 @ And their king shall go into captivity, he and his rulers together, says Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:2:1 @ So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime.

gltv@Amos:2:2 @ But I will send a fire against Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth. And Moab shall die with uproar, with a war cry, with the sound of the ram's horn.

gltv@Amos:2:3 @ And I will cut off the judge in its midst, and I will kill all his rulers with him, says Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:2:4 @ So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn back from it; for they despised the law of Jehovah, and they have not kept His statutes. And their lies after which their fathers walked led them astray.

gltv@Amos:2:5 @ And I shall send a fire against Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

gltv@Amos:2:6 @ So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals,

gltv@Amos:2:7 @ panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the helpless, and turning aside the way of the humble. And a man and his father will go in to the same girl, in order to profane the name of My holiness.

gltv@Amos:2:8 @ And they will stretch out beside every altar, and on garments taken in pledge. And they will drink wine of those being fined in the house of God.

gltv@Amos:2:9 @ Yet I destroyed the Amorite from before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the great trees. And I destroyed his fruit from above and his roots from below.

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

gltv@Amos:2:11 @ And I raised up from your sons for prophets, and for Nazarites from your young men. Is this not even so, O sons of Israel? declares Jehovah.

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

gltv@Amos:2:13 @ Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart full with produce is pressed.

gltv@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,

gltv@Amos:2:15 @ and he who handles the bow shall not stand, and he swift footed shall not save, and the horse rider shall not save his life.

gltv@Amos:2:16 @ And the stouthearted among the mighty shall run away naked in that day, declares Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:3:1 @ Hear this word that Jehovah has spoken against you, sons of Israel, against all the family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:

gltv@Amos:3:2 @ You only have I known of all the families of the earth. On account of this, I will punish you for all your iniquities.

gltv@Amos:3:3 @ Will two walk together unless they are agreed?

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

gltv@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?

gltv@Amos:3:6 @ If a ram's horn is blowing in a city, will the people not also tremble? If there is a calamity in a city, has Jehovah not even done it?

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

gltv@Amos:3:8 @ A lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah has spoken, who will not prophesy?

gltv@Amos:3:9 @ Make it heard at the palaces in Ashdod, and at the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Gather yourselves on the mountains of Samaria and see many panics in its midst, and oppressions in its midst.

gltv@Amos:3:10 @ For they do not know to do right, declares Jehovah, those who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

gltv@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 fortress, and your palaces shall be plundered.

gltv@Amos:3:12 @ So says Jehovah, 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 a corner of a bed, and in Damascus on a couch.

gltv@Amos:3:13 @ Hear and testify in the house of Jacob, declares the Lord Jehovah, the God of hosts.

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

gltv@Amos:3:15 @ And I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall be swept away, declares Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:4:1 @ Hear this word, cows of Bashan who are in the mountain of Samaria, who press down the helpless, who crush the poor, who say to their husbands, Bring in, that we may drink.

gltv@Amos:4:2 @ The Lord Jehovah has sworn by His holiness that the days are coming that He will lift you up with meat hooks, and the last of you with fishhooks.

gltv@Amos:4:3 @ And you shall go out at the breaches, each woman before her. And you shall throw down the high place, declares Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:4:4 @ Come into Bethel and transgress; multiply transgressing at Gilgal. And bring our sacrifices for the morning, your tithes for three days;

gltv@Amos:4:5 @ and offer a sacrifice of a thanksgiving offering that is leavened. And cry out, call out the voluntary offerings! For so you love to do, sons of Israel, declares the Lord Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:4:6 @ And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in your places; and you have not returned to Me, declares Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:4:7 @ And I have also withheld the rain from you when it was 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 where it did not rain was dried up.

gltv@Amos:4:8 @ So two or three cities staggered to one city in order to drink water, but they were not satisfied; yet you have not returned to Me, declares Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:4:9 @ I have struck you with blasting and mildew. The multitude of your gardens and your vineyards, and your figs, and your olives are devoured by the creeping locust; yet you have not returned to Me, declares Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:4:10 @ I have sent a plague among you in the way of Egypt; I have killed your young men with the sword and your horses with captivity. And I have made the stench of your camps to come up even into your nostrils; yet you have not returned to Me, declares Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:4:11 @ I have overthrown 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, declares Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:4:12 @ So I will do this to you, O Israel: Because of this I will do to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.

gltv@Amos:4:13 @ For, behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind and declares to man what His thought is, He who makes the dawn darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth, Jehovah, the God of Hosts, is His name.

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

gltv@Amos:5:2 @ The virgin of Israel has fallen, and will not arise again; she lies forsaken on her land; there is no one raising her up.

gltv@Amos:5:3 @ For so says the Lord Jehovah: The city that goes out by a thousand shall have a hundred left. And that which goes out by a hundred shall have ten left in the house of Israel.

gltv@Amos:5:4 @ For so says Jehovah to the house of Israel: Seek Me, and live.

gltv@Amos:5:5 @ But do not seek Bethel, and do not enter Gilgal, and do not cross over to Beersheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into exile, and Bethel shall be for nothing.

gltv@Amos:5:6 @ Seek Jehovah, and live, that He not break out like a fire on the house of Joseph, and consume, and no one is putting it out for Bethel.

gltv@Amos:5:7 @ He abandoned those who turn justice and righteousness into wormwood on the earth.

gltv@Amos:5:8 @ He who created the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the deep darkness into the morning, and He darkened the day into night; who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth, Jehovah is His name;

gltv@Amos:5:9 @ who flashes out with destruction on the strong; yea, destruction comes on the fortress.

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

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

gltv@Amos:5:12 @ For I know your many transgressions, and your many sins: afflicting the just, taking of a bribe, and turning aside the poor in the gate.

gltv@Amos:5:13 @ So the understanding ones shall keep silent in that time, for it is an evil time.

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

gltv@Amos:5:15 @ Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate. It may be that Jehovah the God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

gltv@Amos:5:16 @ So Jehovah, the God of Hosts, the Lord, says this: Wailing shall be in all streets, and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the farmer to the mourning, and those knowing wailing to lamentation.

gltv@Amos:5:17 @ And wailing shall be in all vineyards, for I will pass among you, says Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:5:18 @ Woe to those desiring the day of Jehovah! What is this for you? The day of Jehovah is darkness, and not light.

gltv@Amos:5:19 @ It is as if a man fled before a lion, and the bear met him. Or he goes into the house and leans his hand against the wall, and a snake bites him.

gltv@Amos:5:20 @ Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light; even very dark, and not any brightness in it?

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

gltv@Amos:5:22 @ Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not be pleased; nor will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.

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

gltv@Amos:5:24 @ But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

gltv@Amos:5:25 @ Have you brought near sacrifices and food offerings to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

gltv@Amos:5:26 @ Yea, you have carried the booth of your king, and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves!

gltv@Amos:5:27 @ And I will cause you to go into exile beyond Damascus, says Jehovah, the God of hosts is His name.

gltv@Amos:6:1 @ Woe to those at ease in Zion, and those trusting in the mountain of Samaria, those noted as the leader of the nations! And the house of Israel came to them.

gltv@Amos:6:2 @ Cross to Calneh and see; and from there go to the great Hamath; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms, or their border than your border?

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

gltv@Amos:6:4 @ who lie on beds of ivory and stretch themselves on their couches; and those eating the lambs from the flock, and bull calves from the midst of the stall;

gltv@Amos:6:5 @ those chanting with the mouth of the harp; they invent instruments of song for themselves like David;

gltv@Amos:6:6 @ who drink bowls of wine, and they anoint with the best of oils; but they are not grieved for the breaking of Joseph!

gltv@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.

gltv@Amos:6:8 @ The Lord Jehovah has sworn by Himself, declares Jehovah, the God of hosts: I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will shut up the city and its fullness.

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

gltv@Amos:6:10 @ And his uncle shall lift him up, and he who burns him, to bring out the bones from the house; and he shall say to that one 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.

gltv@Amos:6:11 @ For, behold, Jehovah commands, and He will strike the great house into pieces, and the little house into cracks.

gltv@Amos:6:12 @ Shall horses run on the rock? Or will one plow there with oxen? For you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,

gltv@Amos:6:13 @ those rejoicing for nothing, those saying, Have we not taken horns to ourselves by our own strength?

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

gltv@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 mowings of the king.

gltv@Amos:7:2 @ And it happened when it had made an end of eating the vegetation of the land, then I said, Lord Jehovah, I beg You, forgive. How can Jacob stand? For he is small.

gltv@Amos:7:3 @ Jehovah repented concerning this: It shall not be, says Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:7:4 @ The Lord Jehovah made me to 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.

gltv@Amos:7:5 @ Then I said, Lord Jehovah, I beg You, stop. How can Jacob stand? For he is small.

gltv@Amos:7:6 @ Jehovah repented concerning this: It shall not be, says the Lord Jehovah.

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

gltv@Amos:7:8 @ And Jehovah said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A plumb line. And the Lord said, Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of My people Israel. I will not again pass over him any more.

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

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

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

gltv@Amos:7:12 @ And Amaziah said to Amos, Seer, go! Flee for yourself into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there.

gltv@Amos:7:13 @ But do not again prophesy at Bethel any more, for it is the king's holy place, and it is the royal house.

gltv@Amos:7:14 @ Then answered and said to Amaziah: I was not a prophet, nor was I a prophet's son, but I was a herdsman and a gatherer from sycamore trees.

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

gltv@Amos:7:16 @ Now, then, hear the word of Jehovah: You say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not drop words against the house of Isaac.

gltv@Amos:7:17 @ So Jehovah 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 a line. And you shall die in a defiled land. And Israel shall surely go into exile from his land.

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

gltv@Amos:8:2 @ And He said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. And Jehovah said to me, The end has come on My people Israel; I will not again pass over him any more.

gltv@Amos:8:3 @ And they will howl the songs of the temple in that day, declares the Lord Jehovah. The dead bodies shall be many; in every place one shall throw them out, saying, Hush!

gltv@Amos:8:4 @ Hear this, you who swallow up the poor, even to make the humble of the land to cease,

gltv@Amos:8:5 @ saying, When will the new moon have passed, so that we may buy grain? Or the sabbath, so that we may open the wheat, making smaller the ephah, and to enlarge the shekel, and to falsify the deceitful balances,

gltv@Amos:8:6 @ in order to buy the helpless with silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals, and sell the chaff of the wheat?

gltv@Amos:8:7 @ Jehovah has sworn by the Pride of Jacob, Surely I will not ever forget all their works.

gltv@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.

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

gltv@Amos:8:10 @ And I will turn your feasts to mourning, and all your songs into a dirge. And I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head. And I will make it like the mourning for an only one; and the end of it shall be like a bitter day.

gltv@Amos:8:11 @ Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine into the land, not a famine for bread, nor a thirst for water, but rather a famine for hearing the words of Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:8:12 @ And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to east; they shall roam about to seek the word of Jehovah, and they shall not find it.

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

gltv@Amos:8:14 @ They who swear by the guilt of Samaria, and say, As your God lives, O Dan! And, As the way of Beer-sheba lives! Even they shall fall, and not rise again.

gltv@Amos:9:1 @ I saw the Lord standing by the altar. And He said, Strike the capital of the door, and the thresholds will 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 who flees will flee, and not a fugitive of them will escape.

gltv@Amos:9:2 @ And if they dig through into Sheol, from there My hand will take them. And if they go up to the heavens, from there I will bring them down.

gltv@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 hide from My eyes in the bottom of the sea, from there I will command the serpent, and he will bite them.

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

gltv@Amos:9:5 @ And the Lord Jehovah of hosts is He who touches the earth so that it melts, and all dwelling in it shall mourn. And all of it will rise up like the Nile, and sink down like the Nile of Egypt.

gltv@Amos:9:6 @ It is He who builds His staircase in the heavens, and He has founded His binding heavens on the earth; He who calls for the seawater and pours them out on the face of the earth, Jehovah is His name.

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

gltv@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; only that I will not completely destroy the house of Jacob, declares Jehovah.

gltv@Amos:9:9 @ For, behold, 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 ground.

gltv@Amos:9:10 @ All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, those who say, The evil shall not draw near or confront us.

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

gltv@Amos:9:12 @ so that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations on whom My name is called, declares Jehovah who is doing this.

gltv@Amos:9:13 @ Behold, the days are coming, declares Jehovah, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who draws along seed. And the mountains shall drop new must, and all the hills will be dissolved.

gltv@Amos:9:14 @ And I will again bring the captivity of My people Israel. And they shall build the waste cities, and live in them. And they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them. They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

gltv@Amos:9:15 @ And I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be pulled up out of their land which I have given to them, says Jehovah your God.

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

gltv@Obadiah:1:2 @ Behold, I have given you to be small among the nations; you are greatly despised.

gltv@Obadiah:1:3 @ The pride of your heart has deceived you, dwelling in the clefts of the rock; his dwelling is lofty, saying in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

gltv@Obadiah:1:4 @ Though you rise high as the eagle, and though you set your nest between the stars, I will bring you down from there, declares Jehovah.

gltv@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?

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

gltv@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 prevailed over you. They are setting your bread as a snare under you; there is no understanding in him.

gltv@Obadiah:1:8 @ Shall I not in that day even destroy the wise out of Edom and understanding out of the mount of Esau? declares Jehovah.

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

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

gltv@Obadiah:1:11 @ On the day of your standing on the other side, on the day that the strangers take his force captive, and foreigners enter his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.

gltv@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 destruction; nor should you have enlarged your mouth in the day of distress.

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

gltv@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.

gltv@Obadiah:1:15 @ For the day of Jehovah is near on all the nations: As you have done, it shall be done to you; your reward shall return on your head!

gltv@Obadiah:1:16 @ For as you have drunk on My holy mount, so all the nations shall continually drink. Yea, they shall drink and shall swallow; and they will be as if they had not been.

gltv@Obadiah:1:17 @ But the ones who escaped shall be on Mount Zion, and it shall be holy. And the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.

gltv@Obadiah:1:18 @ And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for straw. And they shall burn among them and consume them. And no survivor shall be to the house of Esau, for Jehovah has spoken.

gltv@Obadiah:1:19 @ And those of Negeb shall possess the mountain of Esau, and the low country of the Philistines. And they shall possess Ephraim's fields, and Samaria's fields. And Benjamin shall possess Gilead.

gltv@Obadiah:1:20 @ And the exiles of this force 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 Negeb.

gltv@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 Jehovah.

gltv@Jonah:1:1 @ And the word of Jehovah was to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,

gltv@Jonah:1:2 @ Rise up, go to Nineveh, the great city, and cry out against it; for their evil has come up before Me.

gltv@Jonah:1:3 @ But 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, from before the face of Jehovah.

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

gltv@Jonah:1:5 @ And the sailors were afraid, and each man cried to his god. And they threw out the ship's articles into the sea, to lighten it off of them. But had gone down into the hold of the ship; and he lay down, and was sound asleep.

gltv@Jonah:1:6 @ And the chief of the seamen came near to him and said to him, What is it to you, O sound sleeper? Rise up and cry out to your God! It may be our god will notice us, and we will not perish.

gltv@Jonah:1:7 @ And they said, each man to his companion, Come and let us cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil occurred to us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

gltv@Jonah:1:8 @ And they said to him, Please tell us on account of whom has this evil occurred to us? What is your work? And from where do you come? What is your country, and of what people are you?

gltv@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.

gltv@Jonah:1:10 @ And the men were terrified with fear and 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.

gltv@Jonah:1:11 @ And they said to him, What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm from on us? For the sea was going on and being stormy.

gltv@Jonah:1:12 @ And he said to them, Take me up and throw me out into the sea. And the sea will be calm from on you. For I know that this great storm is on you on account of me.

gltv@Jonah:1:13 @ But the men rowed to return to the dry land, but they were not able, for the sea was going on and being stormy against them.

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

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

gltv@Jonah:1:16 @ Then the men feared Jehovah with a great fear and offered a sacrifice to Jehovah, and vowed vows.

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

gltv@Jonah:2:1 @ And prayed to Jehovah his God out of the belly of the fish.

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

gltv@Jonah:2:3 @ For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current surrounded me; all Your breakers and Your waves passed over me.

gltv@Jonah:2:4 @ And I said, I am cast off from Your eyes; yet I will again look to Your holy temple.

gltv@Jonah:2:5 @ Waters encompassed me, even to my soul; the depth closed around me; seaweed was clinging to my head.

gltv@Jonah:2:6 @ I went down to the bases of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me forever. But You brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.

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

gltv@Jonah:2:8 @ Those who observe vanities of idolatry forsake their faithfulness;

gltv@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!

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

gltv@Jonah:3:1 @ And the word of Jehovah was to the second time, saying,

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

gltv@Jonah:3:3 @ And rose up and went to Nineveh according to the word of Jehovah. And Nineveh was a great city to God, of three days' journey.

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

gltv@Jonah:3:5 @ And the men of Nineveh believed in God, and they called a fast and put on sackclothes, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

gltv@Jonah:3:6 @ And the word touched even to the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he took his robe from him and covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the ashes.

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

gltv@Jonah:3:8 @ But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth. And let them call with strength to God. And let them each one turn from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their palms.

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

gltv@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 declared to do to them, and He did not do it.

gltv@Jonah:4:1 @ But it was a great calamity to Jonah's eye, and it kindled anger in him.

gltv@Jonah:4:2 @ And he prayed to Jehovah, and said, Please, O Jehovah, was this not my word while I was on my own land? On account of this, I fled to Tarshish before, for I knew that You are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and One who repents over calamity.

gltv@Jonah:4:3 @ And now, O Jehovah, please take my life from me. For better is my death than my life.

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

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

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

gltv@Jonah:4:7 @ But God appointed a worm at the rising of the dawn of the next day, and it struck the plant, and it dried up.

gltv@Jonah:4:8 @ And it happened when the sun shone, God had appointed a scorching east wind; and the sun struck Jonah's head, so that he fainted; and he asked for his life to die. And he said, Better is my death than my life.

gltv@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.

gltv@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 the son of a night and perished the son of a night,

gltv@Jonah:4:11 @ and should I not have pity on Nineveh, the great city in which are more than a hundred and twenty thousand men who do not know between the right and the left hand, and many cattle?

gltv@Micah:1:1 @ The word of Jehovah that was to of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw on Samaria and Jerusalem:

gltv@Micah:1:2 @ Let the peoples hear, all of them. Pay attention, O earth, and its fullness. And let the Lord Jehovah be a witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.

gltv@Micah:1:3 @ For, behold, Jehovah is coming out of His place, and He will come down and walk on the high places of the earth.

gltv@Micah:1:4 @ And the mountains shall melt under Him, and the valleys shall cleave themselves, as wax before the fire, as waters poured out on a steep place.

gltv@Micah:1:5 @ All this is against the transgression of Jacob, and against 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?

gltv@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.

gltv@Micah:1:7 @ And all her carved images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her gifts for harlotry shall be burned with fire. And I will make all her idols a desolation. For she gathered it from the reward of a harlot, and they shall return to the reward of a harlot.

gltv@Micah:1:8 @ Because of this I will wail and howl; I will go stripped and naked; I will make a wailing like the jackal, yea, mourn like the daughters of an ostrich.

gltv@Micah:1:9 @ For her wounds are incurable; for it has come to Judah; it has reached to the gate of my people, to Jerusalem.

gltv@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 Bethezel shall take from you its place of standing.

gltv@Micah:1:12 @ For be grieved for good, the inhabitant of Maroth, for evil came down from Jehovah to the gate of Jerusalem.

gltv@Micah:1:13 @ Inhabitant of Lachish, tie the chariot to the stallion; she is the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.

gltv@Micah:1:14 @ So you shall give parting gifts to Moresheth-gath. The houses of Achzib are for a lying thing to the kings of Israel.

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

gltv@Micah:1:16 @ Make yourself bald, and cut off your hair for the sons of your delight. Make your baldness increase like the eagle, for they go into exile from you.

gltv@Micah:2:1 @ Woe to those plotting wickedness and preparing evil on their beds! In the light of the morning they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

gltv@Micah:2:2 @ And they covet and seize fields and houses, and carry them away. And they oppress a man and his household, even a man and his inheritance.

gltv@Micah:2:3 @ So Jehovah says this: Behold, I am plotting an evil against this family, from which you shall not remove your necks; nor shall you go exalted, for it is an evil time.

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

gltv@Micah:3:6 @ So a night shall be for you apart from vision; and darkness apart from divining. And the sun shall go down on the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.

gltv@Micah:3:7 @ And the seers shall be ashamed, and the diviners shall blush, all of them; yea, they shall cover over their mustache, for there is no answer from God.

gltv@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 live in the field. And you shall come to Babylon. There you shall be snatched back. There Jehovah shall redeem you from the palm of your enemies.

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

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

gltv@Micah:4:13 @ Rise up 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 devote their gain to Jehovah, and their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.

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

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

gltv@Micah:5:3 @ So 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.

gltv@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 is great to the ends of the earth.

gltv@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 of man.

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

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

gltv@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 both tramples and tears in pieces if he passes through) and there is no one to snatch back.

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

gltv@Micah:5:10 @ And it shall be in that day, I will cut off your horses out of your midst, and I will destroy your chariots, declares Jehovah.

gltv@Micah:5:11 @ And I will cut off the cities of your land and pull down all your fortresses.

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

gltv@Micah:5:13 @ And I also will cut off your graven images and your pillars from your midst. And you shall not any more worship the work of your hands.

gltv@Micah:5:14 @ And I will pluck your shrines from your midst, and I will destroy your cities.

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

gltv@Micah:6:1 @ Hear now what Jehovah says: Rise up, contend with the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

gltv@Micah:6:2 @ Mountains, and you enduring foundations of the earth, hear the contention of Jehovah, for Jehovah has a quarrel with His people, and He will dispute with Israel.

gltv@Micah:6:3 @ My people, what have I done to you? And how have I made you weary? Answer against Me.

gltv@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.

gltv@Micah:6:5 @ 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 righteousnesses of Jehovah.

gltv@Micah:6:6 @ With what shall I come before Jehovah, to bow myself before the loftiness of God? Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves, sons of a year?

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

gltv@Micah:6:8 @ O man, He has declared to you what is good. And what does Jehovah require of you, but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

gltv@Micah:6:9 @ The voice of Jehovah calls out to the city; and one of sound wisdom will see Your name. Hear the rod, and Him who appointed it.

gltv@Micah:6:10 @ Are there yet in the house of the wicked the treasures of wickedness, and a cursed ephah of leanness?

gltv@Micah:6:11 @ Shall I declare wicked balances to be pure, or a bag of deceitful weights?

gltv@Micah:6:12 @ For her rich ones are full of violence, and her inhabitants speak a lie, and their tongue is deceit in their mouth.

gltv@Micah:6:13 @ And I also have made you sick, to strike you, making you desolate because of your sins.

gltv@Micah:6:14 @ You shall eat, but not be satisfied, and your hunger shall be in your midst. And you shall draw back, but shall not save; and that which you save, I will give up to the sword.

gltv@Micah:6:15 @ You shall sow, but you shall not reap. You shall tread the olive, but you shall not anoint with oil; and new wine, but shall not drink wine.

gltv@Micah:6:16 @ And one has kept himself as to the statutes of Omri and all the works of the house of Ahab. And you walk in their counsels, so that I may give you for a horror and her inhabitants for a hissing. And you shall bear the shame of My people.

gltv@Micah:7:1 @ Woe to me! For I am like the gatherings of summer fruit, like the gleanings of the vintage. There is no cluster to eat; my soul desires the early fig.

gltv@Micah:7:2 @ The pious has perished from the earth, and the upright is not among mankind. All of them lie in wait for blood; each one hunts his brother with a net.

gltv@Micah:7:3 @ Both palms are on evil, to do it well. The ruler is asking for a bribe, also the judge. And the great one speaks the lust of his soul; he acts, and they weave it together.

gltv@Micah:7:4 @ The best of them is like a thorn; the upright more than a hedge of thorns. The day of your watchers, your visitation is coming; now their shame shall be.

gltv@Micah:7:5 @ Put no faith in a companion; put no trust in a friend; keep the door of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom;

gltv@Micah:7:6 @ for a son despises his father; a daughter rises up against her mother; the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his house.

gltv@Micah:7:7 @ But I will look to Jehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

gltv@Micah:7:8 @ Rejoice not against me, my enemy; for if I fall, I shall arise. For if sit in darkness, Jehovah is a light to me.

gltv@Micah:7:9 @ I will bear the fury of Jehovah because I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my cause and brings forth justice for me. He will bring me out to the light; I shall see His righteousness.

gltv@Micah:7:10 @ And my enemy shall see; and shame shall cover her, the one saying to me, Where is He, Jehovah your God? My eyes shall look on her. Now she shall be for a trampling, as the mud of the streets.

gltv@Micah:7:11 @ A day of building your walls, that day the limit shall be far removed.

gltv@Micah:7:12 @ That day he shall come even to you from Assyria and the besieged cities, and from the siege even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.

gltv@Micah:7:13 @ But the land shall become a waste because of those dwelling in it, from the fruit of their doings.

gltv@Micah:7:14 @ Feed Your people with Your rod, the flock of Your possession, dwelling alone in the thicket, amidst Carmel. Let them pasture in Bashan and Gilead, as in days of old.

gltv@Micah:7:15 @ As the days of your coming out from the land of Egypt, I will cause him to see extraordinary things.

gltv@Micah:7:16 @ The nations shall see and be ashamed from all their might. They shall set the hand on their mouth; their ears shall be deaf.

gltv@Micah:7:17 @ They shall lick the dust like a snake; they shall tremble out of their holes like crawlers of the earth; they shall dread Jehovah our God; they shall fear from You.

gltv@Micah:7:18 @ Who is a God like You, forgiving iniquity and passing by the transgression of the remnant of His possession? He does not make strong His anger forever, for He delights in grace.

gltv@Micah:7:19 @ He will return to show us compassion; He will trample our iniquities. Yea, You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

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

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

gltv@Nahum:1:2 @ God is jealous, and Jehovah is avenging, Jehovah is avenging and is a possessor of wrath. Jehovah takes vengeance against His foes, and He keeps wrath against His enemies.

gltv@Nahum:1:3 @ Jehovah takes long to anger, and is great of power, and He does not by any means acquit the guilty. Jehovah has His way in the tempest and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.

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

gltv@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.

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

gltv@Nahum:1:7 @ Jehovah is good for a stronghold in the day of distress; and He knows those who trust in Him.

gltv@Nahum:1:8 @ But with a flood passing through, He will make a complete end of its place, and darkness shall pursue His enemies.

gltv@Nahum:1:9 @ What are you plotting against Jehovah? He will make an utter end; distress shall not rise up a second time.

gltv@Nahum:1:10 @ For as thorns are woven together, and as their drunkards are drunken, they shall be devoured like fully dried straw.

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

gltv@Nahum:1:12 @ So says Jehovah, Though secure, and so many, yet they will be cut off and will vanish. And though I have afflicted you, I will not afflict you any more.

gltv@Nahum:1:13 @ And now I will break his yoke from on you and will tear away your bonds.

gltv@Nahum:1:14 @ And Jehovah has commanded concerning you. Not one of your name shall be sown any more; I will cut off the carved image and the molten image out of the house of your gods; I will appoint your grave, for you are despised.

gltv@Nahum:1:15 @ Behold! The feet of Him bearing good news is on the mountains, making heard, Peace! O Judah, celebrate your feasts; fulfill your vows; for the worthless will not continue to pass through among you; he is completely cut off.

gltv@Nahum:2:1 @ The one scattering is coming up against your face. Guard the rampart; watch the way; make the loins strong, exceedingly firm up your power.

gltv@Nahum:2:2 @ For Jehovah has turned the glory of Jacob as the glory of Israel. For the plunderers have plundered them and have destroyed their vine branches.

gltv@Nahum:2:3 @ The shield of his mighty ones has become red, the mighty men are clothed in scarlet, the chariots will flame like iron torches in the day of preparation, and the cypresses are made to quiver.

gltv@Nahum:2:4 @ The chariots run madly in the streets; they shall rush to and fro in the plazas. Their appearance is like torches; they dart about like the lightnings.

gltv@Nahum:2:5 @ He shall remember its nobles; they shall stumble in their walking; they shall hurry to its wall, and the covering shall be set up.

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

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

gltv@Nahum:2:8 @ And Nineveh is like a pool of water from her days; yet they are fleeing. They cry, Stand! Stand! But no one turns himself.

gltv@Nahum:2:9 @ Plunder the silver! plunder the gold! For there is no end to the treasures, riches from all precious objects.

gltv@Nahum:2:10 @ She is empty, even waste, even devastated. And the heart is melted, and the knees knocking; and trembling is in all the loins; and all of their faces collect heat.

gltv@Nahum:2:11 @ Where is the den of the lions and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion, and the lioness, and the lion's cub walked, and none shall terrify them.

gltv@Nahum:2:12 @ The lion tears in pieces, enough for his cubs, and strangles for his lionesses, and has filled his holes with prey, even his lairs with torn prey.

gltv@Nahum:2:13 @ Behold, I am against you, declares Jehovah of hosts; and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions. And I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall not be heard any more.

gltv@Nahum:3:1 @ Woe to the bloody city! All of it is a lie, all of plunder; the prey is not withdrawn.

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

gltv@Nahum:3:3 @ The horseman lifts up both the gleam of the 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,

gltv@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.

gltv@Nahum:3:5 @ Behold, I am against you, declares Jehovah of hosts, and I will uncover your skirts over your face, and I will cause the nations to see your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.

gltv@Nahum:3:6 @ And I will cast filth on you and will disgrace you. And I will set you as a spectacle.

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

gltv@Nahum:3:8 @ Are you better than No Amon that dwelt among the Nile branches, waters surrounding her, whose rampart was the sea, the waters her wall?

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

gltv@Nahum:3:10 @ Yet she went into exile; she went into captivity. Also her young ones were dashed to pieces at the head of all the streets, and they cast lots for her honored ones, and all her great ones were bound in chains.

gltv@Nahum:3:11 @ You also shall be drunken; you shall be hidden; you also shall seek a fortress from the enemy.

gltv@Nahum:3:12 @ All your fortresses are fig trees with the firstfruits; if they are shaken, then they shall fall on the mouth of the eater.

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

gltv@Nahum:3:14 @ Draw water of the siege for you! Strengthen your fortifications! Go into the clay and tread in the mortar! Make the mold strong!

gltv@Nahum:3:15 @ Fire will devour you there. The sword shall cut you off. It will eat you up like the locust larvae. Make yourself as many as the larvae; multiply yourself like the locusts.

gltv@Nahum:3:16 @ You have increased your merchants above the stars of the heavens; the locust larvae shall strip off and fly away.

gltv@Nahum:3:17 @ Your princes 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.

gltv@Nahum:3:18 @ Your shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria; your nobles are lying down. Your people are scattered on the mountains, and no one is gathering.

gltv@Nahum:3:19 @ There is no healing for your fracture; your wound is severe. All who hear of your report shall clap the palm over you, for on whom has your wickedness not continually passed?

gltv@Habakkuk:1:1 @ The burden which the prophet saw:

gltv@Habakkuk:1:2 @ O Jehovah, until when shall I cry for help, and You will not hear? I cry out to You, Violence! But You do not save.

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

gltv@Habakkuk:1:4 @ On account of this the law has become helpless, and justice does not continually go forth. For the wicked hems in the righteous, so justice goes forth, being perverted.

gltv@Habakkuk:1:5 @ Look among the nations and see, and be amazed. Be amazed! For a work is working in your days which you will not believe, though it be told to you.

gltv@Habakkuk:1:6 @ For, behold, I raise up the Chaldeans, the bitter and impetuous nation which is going into the broad spaces of the land, to possess dwellings not his own.

gltv@Habakkuk:1:7 @ He is terrible and fearful; his judgment and his glory comes from himself.

gltv@Habakkuk:1:8 @ His horses also are swifter than leopards and are fiercer than the evening wolves. And their horsemen spread themselves; yea, their horsemen come from afar; they shall fly as the eagle hurrying to eat.

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

gltv@Habakkuk:1:10 @ And he shall scoff against the kings, and officials shall be a scorn to him. He shall scorn every fortress, and he shall heap up dirt and capture it.

gltv@Habakkuk:1:11 @ Then he sweeps on like a wind; and he transgresses and is guilty, crediting this power of his to his god.

gltv@Habakkuk:1:12 @ Are You not from of old, Jehovah our God, my Holy One? We shall not die, Jehovah, for You have appointed him for judgment. And, my Rock, You have established him for correction.

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

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

gltv@Habakkuk:1:15 @ He takes up all of him with the hook; he drags him with his net and gathers him with his seine. On account of this he rejoices and exults.

gltv@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.

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

gltv@Habakkuk:2:1 @ I will stand on my guard and set myself on the tower, and watch to see what He will say against me, and what I shall return on my rebuke.

gltv@Habakkuk:2:2 @ And Jehovah answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it on the tablets, that he who reads it may run.

gltv@Habakkuk:2:3 @ For the vision is still for the appointed time, but it breathes to the end, and it does not lie. Though it delays, wait for it, because it will surely come; it will not tarry.

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

gltv@Habakkuk:2:5 @ And also, wine indeed betrays a proud man, and he is not content; who widens his soul like Sheol. And he is like death, and is not satisfied, but gathers all the nations to himself, and collects all the peoples to himself.

gltv@Habakkuk:2:6 @ Shall not all of these lift up a parable against him. and a mocking riddle to him, and say, Woe to him who increases what is not his! How long, then, shall he load the pledges on himself?

gltv@Habakkuk:2:7 @ Shall not those who strike you rise up suddenly, and those who shake you be aroused, and you become a prize to him?

gltv@Habakkuk:2:8 @ Because you have plundered many nations, all the rest of the people shall plunder you, because of the blood of men and the violence of the land, and the city, and all those dwelling in it.

gltv@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!

gltv@Habakkuk:2:10 @ You have advised shame for your house, to make an end of many peoples, and are sinning in your soul.

gltv@Habakkuk:2:11 @ For the stone shall cry out from the wall, and the beam shall answer it from the wood.

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

gltv@Habakkuk:2:13 @ Behold, is it not for Jehovah of hosts that the people labor only for fire? Yea, nations weary themselves only for vanity.

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

gltv@Habakkuk:2:15 @ Woe to him who causes his friend to drink, pouring out your wineskin, and also making him drunk, so as to look upon their nakedness!

gltv@Habakkuk:2:16 @ You are filled with shame instead of glory; you drink also, and will be seen as uncircumcised. The cup of the right hand of Jehovah shall turn on you, and disgrace shall be your glory.

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

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

gltv@Habakkuk:2:19 @ Woe to him who says to the wood, Awake! To a mute stone, Rise up, it shall teach! Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, but no breath is in its midst.

gltv@Habakkuk:2:20 @ But Jehovah is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him.

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

gltv@Habakkuk:3:2 @ Jehovah, I have heard Your report; I am afraid, Jehovah. Give new life to Your work in the midst of years, in the midst of years make known; in anger remember compassion.

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

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

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

gltv@Habakkuk:3:6 @ He stood and measured the earth; He looked and shook nations; and the ancient mountains were shattered; the eternal hills bowed down. The goings of eternity are His.

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

gltv@Habakkuk:3:8 @ Did Jehovah burn against rivers? Or was Your anger against the rivers? Or Your fury against the sea? For You ride on horses; Your chariots of salvation.

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

gltv@Habakkuk:3:10 @ They saw You; mountains trembled. The storm of water passed over. The deep gave its voice and lifted up its hands on high.

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

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

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

gltv@Habakkuk:3:14 @ You pierced the head of his warriors with his shafts. They rush to scatter me; their rejoicing is to devour the meek in a secret place.

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

gltv@Habakkuk:3:16 @ I heard, and my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the sound. Rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled within myself that I might rest for the day of distress; to come up against the peoples; he cuts him off.

gltv@Habakkuk:3:17 @ Though the fig tree shall not blossom, and fruit is not on the vines; the work of the olive fails, and the fields make no food; the flock is cut off from the fold, and no herd is in the stalls,

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

gltv@Zephaniah:1:2 @ I will completely snatch away all from on the face of the ground, declares Jehovah.

gltv@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 ground, declares Jehovah.

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

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

gltv@Zephaniah:1:6 @ and those drawing back from after Jehovah, and who have not sought Jehovah, nor asked of Him.

gltv@Zephaniah:1:7 @ Be silent before the face of the Lord Jehovah, for the day of Jehovah is near. For Jehovah has appointed a sacrifice; He has consecrated His called ones.

gltv@Zephaniah:1:8 @ And it shall be in the day of the sacrifice of Jehovah, I will punish the rulers and the king's sons, and all those clothed in foreign clothing.

gltv@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.

gltv@Zephaniah:1:10 @ And it shall be in that day, declares Jehovah, the sound of a cry from the Fish Gate, and a howling from the Second, and a great breaking from the hills.

gltv@Zephaniah:1:11 @ Howl, dwellers of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan have perished; all those carrying silver are cut off.

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

gltv@Zephaniah:2:3 @ Seek Jehovah, all the meek of the earth who have done His justice; seek righteousness; seek meekness. It may be you shall be hidden in the day of the anger of Jehovah.

gltv@Zephaniah:2:4 @ For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a ruin. They shall drive Ashdod out at the noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up.

gltv@Zephaniah:2:5 @ Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of Jehovah is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines; I will destroy you so there not shall be an inhabitant.

gltv@Zephaniah:2:6 @ And the seacoast shall be pastures, meadows of shepherds, and folds for the flock.

gltv@Zephaniah:2:7 @ And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed on them. In the houses of Ashkelon, they shall lie down in the evening, for Jehovah their God shall visit them and return their captivity.

gltv@Zephaniah:2:8 @ I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the curses of the sons of Ammon, with which they have cursed My people and have magnified themselves on their border.

gltv@Zephaniah:2:9 @ So as I live, declares Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the sons of Ammon like Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and a pit of salt, and a ruin forever. The remnant of My people shall plunder them, and the rest of the nation shall possess them.

gltv@Zephaniah:2:10 @ They shall have this for their pride, because they have cursed and magnified themselves against the people of Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@Zephaniah:2:11 @ Jehovah will be frightening to them, for He will make lean all the gods of the earth. Each man from his place and all the coastlands of the nations will bow to Him.

gltv@Zephaniah:2:12 @ You also, O Ethiopians, shall be pierced by My sword.

gltv@Zephaniah:2:13 @ And He will stretch out His hand against the north, and destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, dry like the desert.

gltv@Zephaniah:2:14 @ And flocks shall lie down in her midst; all the beasts of a nation; both the pelican and the bittern shall lodge in the capitals of its pillars. A voice shall sing at the window; ruin shall be at the doorsill; for the cedar work He will bare.

gltv@Zephaniah:2:15 @ This is the joyful city, dwelling confidently, who says in her heart, I am, and there is yet no other. How she has become a ruin, a restingplace for animals! Everyone who passes near her shall hiss; he shall shake his hand!

gltv@Zephaniah:3:1 @ Woe to her rebelling and being defiled, to the oppressing city!

gltv@Zephaniah:3:2 @ She did not listen to the voice; she did not receive correction; she did not trust in Jehovah; she did not draw near to her God.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:3 @ Her rulers within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they do not gnaw bones for the morning.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:4 @ Her prophets are proud, men of deceit; her priests have profaned the sanctuary; they have done violence to the Law.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:5 @ The righteous Jehovah is in her midst; He will not act perversely. Every morning He gives His justice to the light; He does not fail, but the unjust knows no shame.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:6 @ I have cut off nations; their towers are ruined. I made their streets waste, so that none passes by. Their cities are laid waste, without a man, there being no inhabitant.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:7 @ I said, Surely you will fear Me; you will receive instruction; then her dwelling shall not be cut off, all that I appointed for her. But they rose up early; they corrupted all their doings.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:8 @ Therefore, wait for Me, declares Jehovah, for the day I rise up to the prey. For My judgment is to gather the nations, for Me to gather the kingdoms, to pour My fury out on them, all My hot anger. For all the earth shall be burned up with the fire of My jealousy.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:9 @ For then I will give a clear lip to the peoples, to call all of them by the name of Jehovah, to serve Him with one shoulder.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:10 @ From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, My worshipers, the daughter of My scattered ones, shall bring My food offering.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:11 @ In that day you shall not be ashamed from all your doings in which you have transgressed against Me. For then I will take away those who rejoice in your pride out of your midst, and you shall not again be proud any more in My holy mountain.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:12 @ I will also leave a poor and weak people in your midst, and they shall trust in the name of Jehovah.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:13 @ The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies. And a deceitful tongue shall not be found in their mouth. For they shall feed and lie down, and no one shall frighten them.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:14 @ Shout for joy, daughter of Zion; shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all the heart, daughter of Jerusalem!

gltv@Zephaniah:3:15 @ Jehovah has turned off your judgments; He has turned away your enemy. Jehovah, the King of Israel, is in your midst; you shall not fear evil any more.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:16 @ In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear not! Zion, do not let your hands droop.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:17 @ Jehovah your God is mighty in your midst; He will save. He will rejoice over you with joy; He is silent in His love. He rejoices over you with a joyful shout.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:18 @ I will gather the afflicted ones from the appointed place; they were from you, a lifting up of reproach over her.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:19 @ Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you. And I will save her who is lame, and gather her who was thrust out. And I will give them for a praise and for a name in all the land of their shame.

gltv@Zephaniah:3:20 @ In that time I will bring you, even in the time I gather you. For I will give you for a name and for a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, says Jehovah.

gltv@Haggai:1:1 @ In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of Jehovah came by the prophet to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah; and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying:

gltv@Haggai:1:2 @ So speaks Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people says, The time has not come, the time for the house of Jehovah to be built.

gltv@Haggai:1:3 @ And the word of Jehovah was by the prophet, saying,

gltv@Haggai:1:4 @ Is it time for you yourselves to live in your finished houses, and this house to lie waste?

gltv@Haggai:1:5 @ And now, so says Jehovah of hosts: Set your heart on your ways!

gltv@Haggai:1:6 @ You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but are not satisfied; you drink, but not to be filled; you dress, but there is no warmth to one. Yea, he who sells himself sells himself for a bag of holes.

gltv@Haggai:1:7 @ So says Jehovah of hosts: Set your heart on your ways.

gltv@Haggai:1:8 @ Go up the mountain and bring wood and build this house. And I will be pleased with it, and I will be glorified, says Jehovah.

gltv@Haggai:1:9 @ You looked for much, and, behold, little! And when you brought it home, then I blew on it. Why, declares Jehovah of hosts? Because of My house that is ruined, and you, each man, run to his own house.

gltv@Haggai:1:10 @ On account of this, the heavens above you have held back the dew, and the earth is held back from her produce.

gltv@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 produces, and on man, and on livestock, and on all the labor of your hands.

gltv@Haggai:1:12 @ Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him. And the people feared before Jehovah.

gltv@Haggai:1:13 @ And Haggai, the messenger of Jehovah, spoke the message of Jehovah to the people, saying, I am with you, says Jehovah.

gltv@Haggai:1:14 @ And Jehovah 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 Jehovah of hosts, their God,

gltv@Haggai:1:15 @ in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

gltv@Haggai:2:1 @ In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, the word of Jehovah was by the prophet, saying,

gltv@Haggai:2:2 @ Now speak to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,

gltv@Haggai:2:3 @ Who is left among you who saw this house in her former glory? And how do you see it now? When compared to it, is it not as nothing in your eyes?

gltv@Haggai:2:4 @ Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says Jehovah. And be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And be strong and work, all people of the land, says Jehovah. For I am with you, declares Jehovah of hosts,

gltv@Haggai:2:5 @ with the Word by whom I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear.

gltv@Haggai:2:6 @ For so says Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land.

gltv@Haggai:2:7 @ And I will shake all the nations; and the desire of all nations shall come. And I will fill this house with glory, says Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@Haggai:2:8 @ The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, says Jehovah of hosts.

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

gltv@Haggai:2:10 @ In the twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Jehovah came to the prophet, saying,

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

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

gltv@Haggai:2:13 @ And said, If the unclean of body touches these, is it unclean? And the priests answered and said, It is unclean.

gltv@Haggai:2:14 @ And answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before Me, declares Jehovah. And so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.

gltv@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 Jehovah;

gltv@Haggai:2:16 @ from then onward, one came to a heap of twenty measures, and there were but ten. One came to the wine vat to draw out fifty from the wine trough, and there were but twenty.

gltv@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 Jehovah.

gltv@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 Jehovah's temple was established. Set your heart:

gltv@Haggai:2:19 @ Is the seed still in the barn? Yes, 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 them.

gltv@Haggai:2:20 @ And a second time the word of Jehovah was to Haggai, in the twenty-fourth of the month, saying,

gltv@Haggai:2:21 @ Speak to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth.

gltv@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 will come down, each one by the sword of his brother.

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

gltv@Zechariah:1:1 @ In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Jehovah came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

gltv@Zechariah:1:2 @ Jehovah has been very angry with your fathers.

gltv@Zechariah:1:3 @ And you say to them, So says Jehovah of hosts: Turn to Me, says Jehovah of hosts, and I will turn to you, says Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@Zechariah:1:4 @ Do not be as your fathers, to whom the former prophets have proclaimed to them, saying, So says Jehovah of hosts: Turn now from your evil ways and your evil doings. But they did not hear or give heed to Me, says Jehovah.

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

gltv@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 Jehovah of hosts purposes to do to us, according to our ways and according to our deeds, so He has done with us.

gltv@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 Jehovah was to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

gltv@Zechariah:1:8 @ I saw at 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.

gltv@Zechariah:1:9 @ Then I said, My lord, what are these? And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, I will show you what these are.

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

gltv@Zechariah:1:11 @ And they answered the Angel of Jehovah 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.

gltv@Zechariah:1:12 @ And the Angel of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah of hosts, until when will You not have pity on Jerusalem, and on the cities of Judah, against which You have cursed these seventy years?

gltv@Zechariah:1:13 @ And Jehovah answered the angel who was talking with me with good words, comforting words.

gltv@Zechariah:1:14 @ So the angel who was talking with me said to me, Cry out, saying, So says Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion, with a great jealousy.

gltv@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.

gltv@Zechariah:1:16 @ So Jehovah says this: I have returned to Jerusalem with compassions; My house shall be built in it, says Jehovah of hosts, and a line shall be stretched over Jerusalem.

gltv@Zechariah:1:17 @ Cry out again, saying, So says Jehovah of hosts: My cities shall again overflow with goodness, and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

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

gltv@Zechariah:1:19 @ And I said to the angel who was talking with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

gltv@Zechariah:1:20 @ And Jehovah showed me four craftsmen.

gltv@Zechariah:1:21 @ And I said, What are these coming to do? And He spoke, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man lifts up his head. But these have come to terrify them, to throw down the horns of the nations who lifted up their horn over the land of Judah, to scatter it.

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

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

gltv@Zechariah:2:3 @ And, behold, the angel who was talking with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,

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

gltv@Zechariah:2:5 @ And I will be to her a wall of fire all around, and I will be for glory in her midst, declares Jehovah.

gltv@Zechariah:2:6 @ Ho! Ho! Flee then from the land of the north, says Jehovah. For I have scattered you as the four winds of the heavens, declares Jehovah.

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

gltv@Zechariah:2:8 @ For so says Jehovah of hosts: He has sent Me after glory, to the nations who plundered you; for he who touches you touches the pupil of His eye.

gltv@Zechariah:2:9 @ For, behold, I will shake My hand over them, and they shall be a prize for their servants. And you shall know that Jehovah has sent Me.

gltv@Zechariah:2:10 @ Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion. For, lo, I come; and I will dwell among you, says Jehovah.

gltv@Zechariah:2:11 @ And many nations shall be joined to Jehovah in that day, and they shall be My people. And I will dwell among you; and you shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent Me to you.

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

gltv@Zechariah:2:13 @ All flesh, be silent before Jehovah. For He is raised up out of His holy habitation.

gltv@Zechariah:3:1 @ And he made me see Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

gltv@Zechariah:3:2 @ And Jehovah said to Satan, Jehovah rebuke you, Satan! And, Jehovah who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked out of the fire?

gltv@Zechariah:3:3 @ And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and he stood before the Angel.

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

gltv@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 clothing. And the Angel of Jehovah stood by.

gltv@Zechariah:3:6 @ And the Angel of Jehovah charged Joshua, saying,

gltv@Zechariah:3:7 @ So says Jehovah 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 room to walk among these who stand by.

gltv@Zechariah:3:8 @ Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your associates who are sitting before you; for they are men of symbol.

gltv@Zechariah:3:9 @ For, behold, I will bring forth My Servant, the BRANCH. For behold, the stone which I have given before Joshua, on the one stone are seven eyes. I will engrave its engraving, says Jehovah of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

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

gltv@Zechariah:4:1 @ And the angel who was speaking with me returned and awakened me, as a man is awakened out of his sleep.

gltv@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 spouts each to the seven lamps on its top;

gltv@Zechariah:4:3 @ and two olive trees are beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.

gltv@Zechariah:4:4 @ And I answered and spoke to the angel who was talking with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

gltv@Zechariah:4:5 @ And the angel who was speaking with me answered and said to me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

gltv@Zechariah:4:6 @ Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@Zechariah:4:7 @ Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts: Grace! Grace to it!

gltv@Zechariah:4:8 @ And the word of Jehovah was to me, saying,

gltv@Zechariah:4:9 @ The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it. And you shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you.

gltv@Zechariah:4:10 @ For who has despised the day of small things? For they shall rejoice and shall see the plummet stone in the hand of Zerubbabel. These seven are the eyes of Jehovah; they run to and fro through all the earth.

gltv@Zechariah:4:11 @ And I answered and said to him, What are these two olive trees on the right of the lampstand, and on its left?

gltv@Zechariah:4:12 @ And I answered a second time and said to him, What are the two clusters of olives beside the two golden pipes, emptying the golden oil from themselves?

gltv@Zechariah:4:13 @ And he spoke to me, saying, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

gltv@Zechariah:4:14 @ And he said, These are the two sons of fresh oil who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

gltv@Zechariah:5:1 @ And I again lifted up my eyes and looked, and, behold, a flying scroll!

gltv@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.

gltv@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.

gltv@Zechariah:5:4 @ And I will bring it forth, says Jehovah of hosts. And it shall go into the house of the thief, and into the house of the one who swears falsely by My name. And it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall devour it, and its timber, and its stones.

gltv@Zechariah:5:5 @ Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and said to me, Now lift up your eyes and see what this is that goes forth.

gltv@Zechariah:5:6 @ And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goes forth. And he said, This is their form in all the earth.

gltv@Zechariah:5:7 @ And, behold, a lead cover was lifted up, and a woman was sitting in the middle of the ephah.

gltv@Zechariah:5:8 @ And he said, This is wickedness. And he threw her into the midst of the ephah; and he threw the lead stone over its opening.

gltv@Zechariah:5:9 @ And I lifted up my eyes and looked. And, behold, two women came out. And the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of the stork. And they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.

gltv@Zechariah:5:10 @ And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, Where are they going with the ephah?

gltv@Zechariah:5:11 @ And he said to me, To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; and it shall be fixed and established there on its own place.

gltv@Zechariah:6:1 @ And again my eyes lifted up and looked, and, behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.

gltv@Zechariah:6:2 @ With the first chariot were red horses, and with the second chariot black horses,

gltv@Zechariah:6:3 @ and with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth dappled and strong colored horses.

gltv@Zechariah:6:4 @ And I answered and said to the angel who was talking with me, What are these, my lord?

gltv@Zechariah:6:5 @ And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four spirits of Heaven who go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

gltv@Zechariah:6:6 @ The black horses in it go into the north country, and the white go after them; and the dappled ones go toward the south country.

gltv@Zechariah:6:7 @ And the strong colored ones went forth and sought to go, to walk to and fro in the earth. And he said, Go! Walk to and fro in the earth. So they walked to and fro in the earth.

gltv@Zechariah:6:8 @ And he cried out to me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these who go toward the north country have caused My Spirit to rest in the north country.

gltv@Zechariah:6:9 @ And the word of Jehovah was to me, saying,

gltv@Zechariah:6:10 @ Take from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, from the exiles who have come from Babylon; and in that day you go and enter into the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah.

gltv@Zechariah:6:11 @ And take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set on the head of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.

gltv@Zechariah:6:13 @ Even He shall build the temple of Jehovah; and He shall bear the majesty, and shall sit and rule on His throne. And He shall be a priest on His throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between the two of them.

gltv@Zechariah:6:14 @ And the crowns shall be for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah, to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen, the son of Zephaniah.

gltv@Zechariah:6:15 @ And the distant ones shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah. And you shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you. And this shall be, if you will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God.

gltv@Zechariah:7:1 @ And in the fourth year of king Darius, the word of Jehovah was to Zechariah, in the fourth of the ninth month, in Chislev.

gltv@Zechariah:7:2 @ And Sharezer and Regem-melech, and his men, had sent to Bethel to seek the favor of the face of Jehovah,

gltv@Zechariah:7:5 @ Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months, even those seventy years, did you truly fast to Me, even to Me?

gltv@Zechariah:7:6 @ And when you ate, and when you drank, was it not for those eating, and for those drinking?

gltv@Zechariah:7:7 @ Are not these the words which Jehovah proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited, and prosperous with her cities all around her, and the Negeb and the Shephelah were inhabited?

gltv@Zechariah:7:8 @ And the word of Jehovah was to Zechariah, saying,

gltv@Zechariah:7:9 @ So says Jehovah of hosts, saying, Judge true judgment, and practice kindness and pity, each man with his brother.

gltv@Zechariah:7:10 @ And do not oppress the widow, or the fatherless, the alien, or the poor. And do not devise evil in your heart, of a man against his brother.

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

gltv@Zechariah:7:12 @ And they made their heart adamant from hearing the law and the words which Jehovah of hosts has sent by the former prophets through His Spirit. And great wrath was from Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@Zechariah:7:13 @ And it will be, just as He called, and they did not listen; so they called, and I did not listen, says Jehovah of hosts.

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

gltv@Zechariah:8:1 @ And the word of Jehovah was to me, saying,

gltv@Zechariah:8:2 @ So says Jehovah of hosts: I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great wrath.

gltv@Zechariah:8:3 @ So says Jehovah: 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 Jehovah of hosts, the holy mountain.

gltv@Zechariah:8:4 @ So says Jehovah of hosts: There shall yet be old men and old women sitting in the streets of Jerusalem; and each man with his staff in his hand because of their many days.

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

gltv@Zechariah:8:6 @ So says Jehovah 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 Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@Zechariah:8:7 @ So says Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will save My people from the rising sun and from the land of the setting sun.

gltv@Zechariah:8:8 @ And I will bring them, and they shall live in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be for a people to Me, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

gltv@Zechariah:8:9 @ So says Jehovah 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 Jehovah of hosts is laid, the temple is to be built.

gltv@Zechariah:8:10 @ For before those 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.

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

gltv@Zechariah:8:12 @ For there shall be peace for the seed: the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these.

gltv@Zechariah:8:13 @ And it shall 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; let your hands be strong.

gltv@Zechariah:8:14 @ For so says Jehovah of hosts: As I purposed to punish you when your fathers provoked Me to wrath, says Jehovah of hosts. And I did not repent,

gltv@Zechariah:8:15 @ So again I have purposed in these days to do good to Jerusalem, and the house of Judah. Do not fear.

gltv@Zechariah:8:16 @ These are the things that you shall do. Let each man speak the truth with his neighbor. Judge with truth and justice for peace in your gates,

gltv@Zechariah:8:17 @ and let each devise no evil in your heart against his neighbor, and do not love a false oath. For all these I hate, says Jehovah.

gltv@Zechariah:8:18 @ And the word of Jehovah of hosts was to me, saying,

gltv@Zechariah:8:19 @ So says Jehovah 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 become for joy and gladness and cheerful feasts to the house of Judah. Therefore, love truth and peace.

gltv@Zechariah:8:20 @ So says Jehovah of hosts: There shall yet come peoples, and inhabitants of many cities.

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

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

gltv@Zechariah:8:23 @ So says Jehovah 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, Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.

gltv@Zechariah:9:1 @ The burden of the word of Jehovah against the land of Hadrach, and its resting place, Damascus, (when the eye of man, and all the tribes of Israel shall be toward Jehovah),

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

gltv@Zechariah:9:3 @ And Tyre shall build a fortress for herself, and shall pile up silver like the dust, and gold like the mud of the streets.

gltv@Zechariah:9:4 @ Behold! The Lord will expel her, and He will strike her wealth in the sea, and she shall be consumed with fire.

gltv@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.

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

gltv@Zechariah:9:7 @ And I will take away his bloods out of his mouth, and his abominations 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.

gltv@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.

gltv@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, lowly, and riding on an ass, even on a colt, the son of an ass.

gltv@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.

gltv@Zechariah:9:11 @ Also you, by the blood of your covenant I have freed your prisoners from the pit; no water is in it.

gltv@Zechariah:9:12 @ Turn to the stronghold, O prisoners of hope! Even today I declare I will return double to you.

gltv@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.

gltv@Zechariah:9:14 @ Then Jehovah will be seen over them, and His arrow shall go out as lightning; and the Lord Jehovah shall blow the ram's horn and shall go forth with the windstorms of the south.

gltv@Zechariah:9:15 @ Jehovah of hosts shall defend them. And they shall devour and trample on the slingstones. And they shall drink and be boisterous, as with wine. And they shall be full like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.

gltv@Zechariah:9:16 @ And Jehovah 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 barrier over His land.

gltv@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.

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

gltv@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. On account of this, they wandered like a flock. They were troubled because there was no shepherd.

gltv@Zechariah:10:3 @ My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats. For Jehovah of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah and made them as His splendid horse in battle.

gltv@Zechariah:10:4 @ From Him came the cornerstone, from Him the nail, from Him came the battle bow, and from Him every ruler together.

gltv@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 Jehovah is with them, and they shall make the riders of horses ashamed.

gltv@Zechariah:10:6 @ And I will make stronger the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. And I will bring them back again to live, for I have pity on them. And they shall be as though I had not cast them off, for I am Jehovah their God, and I will answer them.

gltv@Zechariah:10:7 @ And Ephraim shall be like a mighty one, and their heart shall be glad as by wine. And their sons shall see and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in Jehovah.

gltv@Zechariah:10:8 @ I will whistle for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them. And they shall multiply as they were multiplied.

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

gltv@Zechariah:10:10 @ And I will return to save them out of the land of Egypt and 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.

gltv@Zechariah:10:11 @ And He shall pass through the sea of distress and strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up. And the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt shall go away.

gltv@Zechariah:10:12 @ And I will make them strong in Jehovah, and they shall walk up and down in His name, says Jehovah.

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

gltv@Zechariah:11:2 @ Howl, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the majestic trees have been destroyed. Howl, O oaks of Bashan, for the inaccessible forest has come down.

gltv@Zechariah:11:3 @ A voice of the wailing of the shepherds is heard, for their splendor is destroyed. A voice of the roaring of young lions is heard, for the pride of Jordan is destroyed.

gltv@Zechariah:11:4 @ For so says Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter.

gltv@Zechariah:11:5 @ Those who buy them kill them and are not held guilty. And those who sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich. And their shepherds do not pity them.

gltv@Zechariah:11:6 @ For I will never again pity the inhabitants of the land, says Jehovah. But, lo, I will make the men fall, 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.

gltv@Zechariah:11:7 @ And I fed the flock of slaughter, the truly 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.

gltv@Zechariah:11:8 @ I also cut off three shepherds in one month. And My soul despised them, and their soul also detested Me.

gltv@Zechariah:11:9 @ Then 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 let the rest eat, each woman the flesh of her neighbor.

gltv@Zechariah:11:10 @ And I took My staff Kindness and broke it apart, to break My covenant which I had cut with all the peoples.

gltv@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 Jehovah.

gltv@Zechariah:11:12 @ And I said to them, If it is good in your eyes, give My price; and if not, let it go. And they weighed My price, thirty pieces of silver.

gltv@Zechariah:11:13 @ And Jehovah 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 it to the potter in the house of Jehovah.

gltv@Zechariah:11:14 @ Then I broke apart My second staff Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

gltv@Zechariah:11:15 @ And Jehovah said to me, Again take to yourself the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

gltv@Zechariah:11:16 @ For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land; he shall not visit those who are cut off, nor will he seek the young, nor will he heal that which is broken, nor will he sustain that which stands. But he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear off their hoofs.

gltv@Zechariah:11:17 @ Woe to the worthless shepherd who abandons the flock! The sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye. His arm shall be completely withered, and his right eye shall be totally darkened.

gltv@Zechariah:12:1 @ The burden of the word of Jehovah for Israel, says Jehovah, who stretches forth the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man in his midst.

gltv@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.

gltv@Zechariah:12:3 @ And in that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it shall be slashed. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.

gltv@Zechariah:12:4 @ In that day I will strike every horse with panic and his rider with madness, says Jehovah. And I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and I will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

gltv@Zechariah:12:5 @ And the leaders of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in Jehovah of hosts, their God.

gltv@Zechariah:12:6 @ In that day I will make the leaders 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.

gltv@Zechariah:12:7 @ Jehovah also shall save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be magnified above Judah.

gltv@Zechariah:12:8 @ In that day Jehovah shall protect around the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And it will be, he who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of Jehovah before them.

gltv@Zechariah:12:9 @ And it shall be in that day, I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

gltv@Zechariah:12:10 @ And I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants 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 an only son, and they shall be bitter over Him, like the bitterness over the first-born.

gltv@Zechariah:12:11 @ In that day the mourning in Jerusalem shall be great, like the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddo.

gltv@Zechariah:12:12 @ And the land shall mourn, each family apart: the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

gltv@Zechariah:12:13 @ the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;

gltv@Zechariah:12:14 @ all the families who remain, each family apart, and their wives apart.

gltv@Zechariah:13:1 @ In that day a fountain shall be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity.

gltv@Zechariah:13:2 @ And it shall be in that day, I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall be remembered no more, says Jehovah of hosts. And I also will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

gltv@Zechariah:13:3 @ And it shall be when any shall prophesy again, his father and his mother who gave him birth shall say to him then, You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of Jehovah. And his father and his mother who gave him birth shall pierce him when he prophesies.

gltv@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.

gltv@Zechariah:13:5 @ But he shall say, I am not a prophet; I am a man, a tiller of the ground, for a man caused me to buy from my youth.

gltv@Zechariah:13:6 @ And one shall say to him, What are these wounds between your hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was struck in the house of those who love me.

gltv@Zechariah:13:7 @ O sword, awake against My Shepherd, and against the Man who is My companion, says Jehovah of hosts. Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered. And I will turn My hand against the little ones.

gltv@Zechariah:13:8 @ And it shall be in all the land, says Jehovah, two parts in it shall be cut off and perish, but the third shall be left in it.

gltv@Zechariah:13:9 @ And I will bring the third part through the fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined. And I 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, Jehovah is my God.

gltv@Zechariah:14:1 @ Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, and your spoil shall be divided among you.

gltv@Zechariah:14:2 @ For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem. And the city shall be captured, and the houses plundered, and the women ravished. And half the city shall go into exile and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

gltv@Zechariah:14:3 @ And Jehovah shall go out and fight against those nations, like the day He fought in the day of battle.

gltv@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 even to the west, a very great valley. And half of the mountain shall move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

gltv@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 Jehovah my God shall come, and all the saints with You.

gltv@Zechariah:14:6 @ And it will be in that day, there shall not be light; the glorious ones will shrink.

gltv@Zechariah:14:7 @ And it will be, one day which shall be known to Jehovah; not day and not night, but it will be, there will be light at evening time.

gltv@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.

gltv@Zechariah:14:9 @ And Jehovah shall be King over all the earth. In that day there shall be one Jehovah, and His name one.

gltv@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.

gltv@Zechariah:14:11 @ And they shall live in it. And there shall not again be a shutting in, but Jerusalem shall dwell safely.

gltv@Zechariah:14:12 @ And this shall be the plague with which Jehovah will strike all the peoples who have fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rest in their sockets, and their tongues shall rot in their mouths.

gltv@Zechariah:14:13 @ And it shall be in that day, a great panic of Jehovah 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.

gltv@Zechariah:14:14 @ And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of the surrounding nations shall be gathered, gold, and silver, and clothing, very much.

gltv@Zechariah:14:15 @ And so shall be the plague of the horse, the mule, the camel, and the ass, and all the beasts which shall be in those camps, like this plague.

gltv@Zechariah:14:16 @ And it shall be, everyone who is left from all the nations which came up against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

gltv@Zechariah:14:17 @ And it shall be, whoever will not go up from the families of the earth to Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, there shall even be no rain on them.

gltv@Zechariah:14:18 @ And if the family of Egypt does not go up, nor come in, then the rain shall not be on them, but the plague with which Jehovah shall strike the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

gltv@Zechariah:14:19 @ This shall be Egypt's offense, and the offense of all nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

gltv@Zechariah:14:20 @ In that day there shall be on the bells of the horses, HOLY TO JEHOVAH. And the pots in the house of Jehovah shall be like the bowls before the altar.

gltv@Zechariah:14:21 @ And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy to Jehovah of hosts. And all those who sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil in them. And in that day there shall not be a trader in the house of Jehovah of hosts any more.

gltv@Malachi:1:1 @ The burden of the word of Jehovah to Israel by the hand of Malachi:

gltv@Malachi:1:2 @ I have loved you, says Jehovah. But you say, In what way have You loved us? Was not Esau the brother to Jacob? Yet Jehovah declares, I loved Jacob,

gltv@Malachi:1:3 @ and I have hated Esau and have made his mountains a desolation, and his inheritance to be for the jackals of the wilderness.

gltv@Malachi:1:4 @ If Edom says, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the ruined places; so says Jehovah of hosts: They shall build, but I will tear down. And they shall call them the region of wickedness, and the people with whom Jehovah is indignant until forever.

gltv@Malachi:1:5 @ And your eyes shall see, and you shall say, Jehovah will be magnified beyond the border of Israel.

gltv@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 Jehovah of hosts to you, O priests who despise My name. But you say, In what have we despised Your name?

gltv@Malachi:1:7 @ You are offering defiled food on My altar, and you say, In what have we defiled You? It is in your saying, The table of Jehovah, it is to be despicable.

gltv@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 Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@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 Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@Malachi:1:10 @ Who is even among you that will shut the doors, and you not kindle fire on My altar in vain? There is no delight to Me in you, says Jehovah of hosts. I will not be pleased with a food offering from you.

gltv@Malachi:1:11 @ For from the east to the west, 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 Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@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 despicable.

gltv@Malachi:1:13 @ And you have said, Behold, what weariness! And you have sniffed at it, says Jehovah of hosts. And you bring plunder, and the lame, and the sick; and you bring the meal offering. Should I accept it from your hand? says Jehovah.

gltv@Malachi:1:14 @ But cursed be a deceiver and there is a male in his flock, yet he vows it, but he sacrifices a blemished one to the Lord. For I am a great King, says Jehovah of hosts, and My name is feared among the nations.

gltv@Malachi:2:1 @ And now, O priests, this command is to you.

gltv@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 Jehovah of hosts, then I will send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. And indeed, I have cursed it, because you are not setting it on your heart.

gltv@Malachi:2:3 @ Behold, I am rebuking your seed, and I will spread dung on your faces, the dung of your solemn feasts; and one will lift you up to it.

gltv@Malachi:2:4 @ And you shall know that I have sent this command to you, to be My covenant with Levi, says Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@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 put in awe before My name.

gltv@Malachi:2:6 @ The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips. In peace and in uprightness he walked with Me, and he turned many from iniquity.

gltv@Malachi:2:7 @ For the lips of the priest should guard knowledge, and they should seek the law from his mouth; for he is the messenger of Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@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 Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@Malachi:2:9 @ So I have also made you despised and low to all the people, just as you have not kept My ways, but are lifting up faces in the law.

gltv@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?

gltv@Malachi:2:11 @ Judah has dealt treacherously, and has done an abomination in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holy place of Jehovah, which He loves and has married a daughter of a foreign god.

gltv@Malachi:2:12 @ Jehovah will cut off from the tents of Jacob the man who does it, he stirring and answering, or offering a food offering to Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@Malachi:2:13 @ And this is a second thing you have done: covering the altar of Jehovah with tears, with weeping and groaning; yet not facing toward the food offering, and taking it with delight from your hand.

gltv@Malachi:2:14 @ Yet you say, On what cause? Because Jehovah has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously; and she is your companion and your covenant wife.

gltv@Malachi:2:15 @ And has He not made you one? Yet the vestige of the Spirit is in him. And what of the one? He was seeking a seed of God. Then guard your spirit, and do not deal treacherously with the wife of your youth.

gltv@Malachi:2:16 @ Jehovah, the God of Israel, says, He hates sending away, and to cover with violence on his garment, says Jehovah of hosts. Then guard your spirit and do not act treacherously.

gltv@Malachi:2:17 @ You have wearied Jehovah with your words. Yet you say, In what have we wearied Him? When you say, Every evildoer is good in the eyes of Jehovah, and He delights in them; or, Where is the God of justice?

gltv@Malachi:3:1 @ Behold, I am sending My messenger, and He will clear the way before Me. And the Lord whom you are seeking shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Angel of the Covenant, in whom you delight. Behold, He comes, says Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@Malachi:3:2 @ But who can endure the day of His coming? And who will stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fuller's soap.

gltv@Malachi:3:3 @ And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and He shall purify the sons of Levi and purge them like gold and like silver, that they may be presenters of a food offering in righteousness to Jehovah.

gltv@Malachi:3:4 @ Then the food offering of Judah and Jerusalem shall be pleasing to Jehovah, as in the days of old, and as in former years.

gltv@Malachi:3:5 @ And I will come near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against those swearing to a lie; and against those who extort from the hired laborer's pay; and turning away the widow, and the fatherless, and the alien, and not fearing Me, says Jehovah of hosts.

gltv@Malachi:3:6 @ For I am Jehovah, I change not. Because of this, you sons of Jacob are not destroyed.

gltv@Malachi:3:7 @ From the days of your fathers, you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you, says Jehovah of hosts. But you say, In what shall we return?

gltv@Malachi:3:8 @ Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me. But you say, In what have we robbed You? In the tithe and the offering!

gltv@Malachi:3:9 @ You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the nation, all of it.

gltv@Malachi:3:10 @ Bring all the tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house. And test Me now with this, says Jehovah of hosts, whether I will not open the windows of the heavens for you and pour out a blessing until there is no sufficiency.

gltv@Malachi:3:11 @ And I will rebuke the devourer for you, and he shall not destroy the fruit of your ground against you; nor shall your vine miscarry against you in the field, says Jehovah of hosts.
