wbs@Hosea:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

wbs@Hosea:1:2 @ The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go take to thee a wife addicted to lewdness and children of lewdness; for the land hath committed great lewdness, departing from the LORD.

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

wbs@Hosea:1:4 @ And the LORD said to him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

wbs@Hosea:1:5 @ And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.

wbs@Hosea:1:6 @ And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And God said to him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.

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

wbs@Hosea:1:8 @ Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.

wbs@Hosea:1:9 @ Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.

wbs@Hosea:1:10 @ Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said to them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

wbs@Hosea:1:11 @ Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be assembled, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up from the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

wbs@Hosea:2:1 @ Say ye to your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.

wbs@Hosea:2:2 @ Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her prostitutions out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

wbs@Hosea:2:3 @ Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

wbs@Hosea:2:4 @ And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are the children of lewdness.

wbs@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.

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

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

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

wbs@Hosea:2:9 @ Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in its time, and my wine in its season, and I will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.

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

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

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

wbs@Hosea:2:13 @ And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, in which she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her ear-rings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the LORD.

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

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

wbs@Hosea:2:16 @ And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.

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

wbs@Hosea:2:18 @ And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping animals of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down in safety.

wbs@Hosea:2:20 @ I will even betroth thee to me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.

wbs@Hosea:2:21 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;

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

wbs@Hosea:2:23 @ And I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them who were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.

wbs@Hosea:3:1 @ Then said the LORD to me, Go yet, love a woman beloved by her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD towards the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.

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

wbs@Hosea:3:3 @ And I said to her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.

wbs@Hosea:3:4 @ For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:

wbs@Hosea:3:5 @ Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

wbs@Hosea:4:1 @ Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

wbs@Hosea:4:2 @ By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.

wbs@Hosea:4:3 @ Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yes, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

wbs@Hosea:4:4 @ Yet let no man contend, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that contend with the priest.

wbs@Hosea:4:5 @ Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.

wbs@Hosea:4:6 @ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

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

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

wbs@Hosea:4:9 @ And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

wbs@Hosea:4:10 @ For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall be guilty of lewdness, and shall not increase: because they have ceased to take heed to the LORD.

wbs@Hosea:4:11 @ Lewdness and wine and new wine take away the heart.

wbs@Hosea:4:12 @ My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth to them: for the spirit of lewdness hath caused them to err, and they have gone astray from under their God.

wbs@Hosea:4:13 @ They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shade of them is agreeable: therefore your daughters shall be guilty of lewdness, and your spouses shall commit adultery.

wbs@Hosea:4:14 @ I will not punish your daughters when they are guilty of lewdness, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for they themselves are separated with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.

wbs@Hosea:4:15 @ Though thou, Israel, playest the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye to Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.

wbs@Hosea:4:16 @ For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

wbs@Hosea:4:17 @ Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.

wbs@Hosea:4:18 @ Their drink is sour: they have been guilty of lewd deeds continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.

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

wbs@Hosea:5:1 @ Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is towards you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

wbs@Hosea:5:2 @ And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.

wbs@Hosea:5:3 @ I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou art guilty of lewdness, and Israel is defiled.

wbs@Hosea:5:4 @ They will not frame their doings to turn to their God: for the spirit of lewdness is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.

wbs@Hosea:5:5 @ And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.

wbs@Hosea:5:6 @ They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.

wbs@Hosea:5:7 @ They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

wbs@Hosea:5:8 @ Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Beth-aven, after thee, O Benjamin.

wbs@Hosea:5:9 @ Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

wbs@Hosea:5:10 @ The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

wbs@Hosea:5:11 @ Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

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

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

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

wbs@Hosea:5:15 @ I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

wbs@Hosea:6:1 @ Come, and let us return to the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

wbs@Hosea:6:2 @ After two days will he revive us: in the third day will he raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

wbs@Hosea:6:3 @ Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he will come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.

wbs@Hosea:6:4 @ O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? for your goodness is as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.

wbs@Hosea:6:5 @ Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.

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

wbs@Hosea:6:7 @ But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

wbs@Hosea:6:8 @ Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.

wbs@Hosea:6:9 @ And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

wbs@Hosea:6:10 @ I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the prostitution of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

wbs@Hosea:6:11 @ Also, O Judah, he hath set a harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.

wbs@Hosea:7:1 @ When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was disclosed, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers strippeth without.

wbs@Hosea:7:2 @ And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them around; they are before my face.

wbs@Hosea:7:3 @ They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

wbs@Hosea:7:4 @ They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it is leavened.

wbs@Hosea:7:5 @ In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.

wbs@Hosea:7:6 @ For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.

wbs@Hosea:7:7 @ They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth to me.

wbs@Hosea:7:8 @ Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

wbs@Hosea:7:9 @ Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yes, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.

wbs@Hosea:7:10 @ And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.

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

wbs@Hosea:7:12 @ When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.

wbs@Hosea:7:13 @ Woe to them! for they have fled from me: destruction to them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.

wbs@Hosea:7:14 @ And they have not cried to me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.

wbs@Hosea:7:15 @ Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.

wbs@Hosea:7:16 @ They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

wbs@Hosea:8:1 @ Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

wbs@Hosea:8:2 @ Israel shall cry to me, My God, we know thee.

wbs@Hosea:8:3 @ Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

wbs@Hosea:8:4 @ They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made for themselves idols, that they may be cut off.

wbs@Hosea:8:5 @ Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocence?

wbs@Hosea:8:6 @ For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

wbs@Hosea:8:7 @ For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if it shall yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.

wbs@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which is no pleasure.

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

wbs@Hosea:8:10 @ Yes, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.

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

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

wbs@Hosea:8:13 @ They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

wbs@Hosea:8:14 @ For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

wbs@Hosea:9:1 @ Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast apostatized from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every corn-floor.

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

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

wbs@Hosea:9:4 @ They shall not offer wine-offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing to him: their sacrifices shall be to them as the bread of mourners; all that eat of it shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.

wbs@Hosea:9:5 @ What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

wbs@Hosea:9:6 @ For lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.

wbs@Hosea:9:7 @ The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the great hatred.

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

wbs@Hosea:9:9 @ They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

wbs@Hosea:9:10 @ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig-tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves to that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.

wbs@Hosea:9:11 @ As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

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

wbs@Hosea:9:13 @ Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

wbs@Hosea:9:14 @ Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

wbs@Hosea:9:15 @ All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

wbs@Hosea:9:16 @ Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.

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

wbs@Hosea:10:1 @ Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit to himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath multiplied the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.

wbs@Hosea:10:2 @ Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.

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

wbs@Hosea:10:4 @ They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.

wbs@Hosea:10:5 @ The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Beth-aven: for its people shall mourn over it, and its priests that rejoiced on it, for its glory, because it is departed from it.

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

wbs@Hosea:10:7 @ As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.

wbs@Hosea:10:8 @ The high places also 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.

wbs@Hosea:10:9 @ O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.

wbs@Hosea:10:10 @ It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.

wbs@Hosea:10:11 @ And Ephraim is as a heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.

wbs@Hosea:10:12 @ Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he shall come and reign righteousness upon you.

wbs@Hosea:10:13 @ Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou hast trusted in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

wbs@Hosea:10:14 @ Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be plundered, as Shalman plundered Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.

wbs@Hosea:10:15 @ So shall Beth-el do to you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel be utterly cut off.

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

wbs@Hosea:11:2 @ As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

wbs@Hosea:11:3 @ I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.

wbs@Hosea:11:4 @ I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid food for them.

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

wbs@Hosea:11:6 @ And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.

wbs@Hosea:11:7 @ And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.

wbs@Hosea:11:8 @ How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.

wbs@Hosea:11:9 @ I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.

wbs@Hosea:11:10 @ They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.

wbs@Hosea:11:11 @ They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.

wbs@Hosea:11:12 @ Ephraim encompasseth me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.

wbs@Hosea:12:1 @ Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily multiplieth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.

wbs@Hosea:12:2 @ The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.

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

wbs@Hosea:12:4 @ Yes, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Beth-el, and there he spoke with us;

wbs@Hosea:12:5 @ Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.

wbs@Hosea:12:6 @ Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.

wbs@Hosea:12:7 @ He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.

wbs@Hosea:12:8 @ And Ephraim said, Yet I have become rich, I have found for myself substance: in all my labors they shall find no iniquity in me that were sin.

wbs@Hosea:12:9 @ And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.

wbs@Hosea:12:10 @ I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets.

wbs@Hosea:12:11 @ Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yes, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.

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

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

wbs@Hosea:12:14 @ Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore will he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach will his Lord return to him.

wbs@Hosea:13:1 @ When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.

wbs@Hosea:13:2 @ And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of artificers: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.

wbs@Hosea:13:3 @ Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind from the floor, and as the smoke from the chimney.

wbs@Hosea:13:4 @ Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but me: for there is no savior besides me.

wbs@Hosea:13:5 @ I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drouth.

wbs@Hosea:13:6 @ According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.

wbs@Hosea:13:7 @ Therefore I will be to them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them.

wbs@Hosea:13:8 @ I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.

wbs@Hosea:13:9 @ O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thy help.

wbs@Hosea:13:10 @ I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?

wbs@Joel:1:11 @ Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vine-dressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field hath perished.

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

wbs@Joel:1:13 @ Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat-offering and the drink-offering is withheld from the house of your God.

wbs@Joel:2:17 @ Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thy heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: why should they say among the people, Where is their God?

wbs@Joel:2:19 @ And the LORD will answer and say to his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied with it; and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:

wbs@Joel:3:2 @ I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided my land.

wbs@Joel:3:3 @ And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.

wbs@Joel:3:4 @ Yes, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompense? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily I will return your recompense upon your own head;

wbs@Joel:3:5 @ Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things.

wbs@Joel:3:6 @ The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold to the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.

wbs@Joel:3:7 @ Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own head:

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

wbs@Joel:3:14 @ Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision; for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

wbs@Joel:3:15 @ The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

wbs@Joel:3:16 @ The LORD also will roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake; but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

wbs@Joel:3:17 @ So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

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

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

wbs@Amos:1:8 @ And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the scepter from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.

wbs@Amos:1:9 @ Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment: because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:

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

wbs@Amos:1:11 @ Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment: because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:

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

wbs@Amos:1:13 @ Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away their punishment: because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:

wbs@Amos:4:7 @ And also I have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece on which it rained not withered.

wbs@Amos:5:12 @ For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.

wbs@Amos:5:13 @ Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.

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

wbs@Amos:5:15 @ Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

wbs@Amos:5:18 @ Woe to you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

wbs@Amos:5:19 @ As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

wbs@Amos:5:23 @ Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

wbs@Amos:5:24 @ But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

wbs@Amos:5:26 @ But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

wbs@Amos:6:10 @ And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.

wbs@Amos:6:11 @ For behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.

wbs@Amos:6:12 @ Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:

wbs@Amos:6:13 @ Ye who rejoice in a thing of naught, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

wbs@Amos:6:14 @ But behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the river of the wilderness.

wbs@Amos:7:1 @ Thus hath the Lord GOD shown to me; and behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.

wbs@Amos:7:2 @ And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

wbs@Amos:7:3 @ The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.

wbs@Amos:7:4 @ Thus hath the Lord GOD shown to me: and behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

wbs@Amos:7:5 @ Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

wbs@Amos:7:6 @ The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.

wbs@Amos:7:7 @ Thus he showed me: and behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand.

wbs@Amos:7:8 @ And the LORD said to me, Amos, what seest thou? and I said, A plumb-line. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

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

wbs@Amos:7:10 @ Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

wbs@Amos:7:11 @ For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

wbs@Amos:7:12 @ Also Amaziah said to Amos, O thou seer, go flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

wbs@Amos:7:13 @ But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.

wbs@Amos:7:14 @ Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit:

wbs@Amos:7:15 @ And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel.

wbs@Amos:7:16 @ Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.

wbs@Amos:7:17 @ Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go from his land into captivity.

wbs@Amos:8:1 @ Thus hath the Lord GOD shown to me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.

wbs@Amos:8:2 @ And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD to me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.

wbs@Amos:8:3 @ And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.

wbs@Amos:8:4 @ Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,

wbs@Amos:8:5 @ Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?

wbs@Amos:8:10 @ And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end of it as a bitter day.

wbs@Amos:8:11 @ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

wbs@Amos:8:12 @ And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

wbs@Amos:8:14 @ They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise again.

wbs@Amos:9:1 @ I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

wbs@Amos:9:2 @ Though they dig into the place of the dead, thence shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:

wbs@Amos:9:4 @ And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

wbs@Amos:9:5 @ And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell in it shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

wbs@Amos:9:6 @ It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: the LORD is his name.

wbs@Jonah:1:1 @ Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

wbs@Jonah:1:2 @ Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.

wbs@Jonah:1:3 @ But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare of it, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

wbs@Jonah:1:4 @ But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was in danger of being broken.

wbs@Jonah:1:5 @ Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god, and cast the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah had gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.

wbs@Jonah:1:6 @ So the ship-master came to him, and said to him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, it may be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.

wbs@Jonah:1:7 @ And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.

wbs@Jonah:1:8 @ Then said they to him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thy occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?

wbs@Jonah:1:9 @ And he said to them, I am a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who hath made the sea and the dry land.

wbs@Jonah:1:10 @ Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.

wbs@Jonah:1:11 @ Then said they to him, What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.

wbs@Jonah:1:12 @ And he said to them, Take me, and cast me into the sea; so shall the sea be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.

wbs@Jonah:1:13 @ Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.

wbs@Jonah:1:14 @ Wherefore they cried to the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.

wbs@Jonah:1:15 @ So they took Jonah, and cast him into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.

wbs@Jonah:1:16 @ Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the LORD, and made vows.

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

wbs@Jonah:2:1 @ Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

wbs@Jonah:2:2 @ And said, I cried by reason of my affliction to the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardst my voice.

wbs@Jonah:2:3 @ For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods encompassed me: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

wbs@Jonah:2:4 @ Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again towards thy holy temple.

wbs@Jonah:2:5 @ The waters encompassed me, even to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

wbs@Jonah:2:6 @ I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.

wbs@Jonah:2:7 @ When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came to thee, into thy holy temple.

wbs@Jonah:2:8 @ They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

wbs@Jonah:2:9 @ But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

wbs@Jonah:2:10 @ And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

wbs@Jonah:3:1 @ And the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,

wbs@Jonah:3:2 @ Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the preaching that I bid thee.

wbs@Jonah:3:3 @ So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.

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

wbs@Jonah:3:5 @ So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

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

wbs@Jonah:3:7 @ And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:

wbs@Jonah:3:8 @ But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God: yes, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.

wbs@Jonah:3:9 @ Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

wbs@Jonah:3:10 @ And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do to them; and he did it not.

wbs@Jonah:4:1 @ But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.

wbs@Jonah:4:2 @ And he prayed to the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before to Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest of the evil.

wbs@Jonah:4:3 @ Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.

wbs@Jonah:4:4 @ Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?

wbs@Jonah:4:5 @ So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city.

wbs@Jonah:4:6 @ And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.

wbs@Jonah:4:7 @ But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.

wbs@Jonah:4:8 @ And it came to pass, when the sun rose that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

wbs@Jonah:4:9 @ And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even to death.

wbs@Jonah:4:10 @ Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for which thou hast not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

wbs@Jonah:4:11 @ And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also many cattle?

wbs@Micah:1:4 @ And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.

wbs@Micah:1:5 @ For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?

wbs@Micah:1:6 @ Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down her stones into the valley, and I will lay bare her foundations.

wbs@Micah:1:7 @ And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with the fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate: for she gathered it from the hire of a harlot, and they shall return to the hire of a harlot.

wbs@Micah:1:8 @ Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.

wbs@Micah:1:13 @ O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.

wbs@Micah:4:10 @ Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth from the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thy enemies.

wbs@Micah:4:11 @ Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

wbs@Micah:6:6 @ Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, with calves of a year old?

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

wbs@Micah:6:8 @ He hath shown thee, O man, what is good; and what the LORD doth require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

wbs@Micah:6:14 @ Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.

wbs@Micah:6:15 @ Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.

wbs@Micah:6:16 @ For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.

wbs@Micah:7:1 @ Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first ripe fruit.

wbs@Micah:7:2 @ The good man hath perished from the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.

wbs@Micah:7:3 @ That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.

wbs@Micah:7:5 @ Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

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

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

wbs@Micah:7:8 @ Rejoice not against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me.

wbs@Micah:7:9 @ I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he shall plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.

wbs@Micah:7:10 @ Then she that is my enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her who said to me, Where is the LORD thy God? my eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.

wbs@Micah:7:14 @ Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, who dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

wbs@Micah:7:15 @ According to the days of thy departure from the land of Egypt will I show to him marvelous things.

wbs@Micah:7:16 @ The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.

wbs@Micah:7:17 @ They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee.

wbs@Micah:7:18 @ Who is a God like to thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

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

wbs@Nahum:1:2 @ God is jealous, and the LORD avengeth; the LORD avengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

wbs@Nahum:1:3 @ The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

wbs@Nahum:1:4 @ He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

wbs@Nahum:1:5 @ The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, even the world, and all that dwell therein.

wbs@Nahum:1:6 @ Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

wbs@Nahum:1:7 @ The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

wbs@Nahum:1:8 @ But with an over-running flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

wbs@Nahum:1:9 @ What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

wbs@Nahum:1:10 @ For while they are folded together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.

wbs@Nahum:1:11 @ There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counselor.

wbs@Nahum:1:12 @ Thus saith the LORD; Though they are quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

wbs@Nahum:1:13 @ For now I will break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds asunder.

wbs@Nahum:1:14 @ And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.

wbs@Nahum:1:15 @ Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

wbs@Nahum:2:1 @ He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.

wbs@Nahum:2:2 @ For the LORD hath turned away the excellence of Jacob, as the excellence of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.

wbs@Nahum:2:3 @ The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir-trees shall be terribly shaken.

wbs@Nahum:2:4 @ The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.

wbs@Nahum:2:5 @ He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defense shall be prepared.

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

wbs@Nahum:2:7 @ And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.

wbs@Nahum:2:8 @ But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back.

wbs@Nahum:2:9 @ Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is no end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.

wbs@Nahum:2:10 @ She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.

wbs@Nahum:2:11 @ Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding-place of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?

wbs@Nahum:2:12 @ The lion tore in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.

wbs@Nahum:2:13 @ Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.

wbs@Nahum:3:1 @ Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robberies; the prey departeth not;

wbs@Nahum:3:2 @ The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the prancing horses, and of the bounding chariots.

wbs@Nahum:3:3 @ The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword, and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcasses; and there is no end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:

wbs@Nahum:3:4 @ Because of the multitude of the lewd deeds of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her lewd deeds, and families through her witchcrafts.

wbs@Nahum:3:5 @ Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will remove thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.

wbs@Nahum:3:6 @ And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing-stock.

wbs@Nahum:3:7 @ And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her; whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

wbs@Nahum:3:8 @ Art thou better than populous No, that was situated among the rivers, that had the waters around it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?

wbs@Nahum:3:9 @ Cush and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.

wbs@Nahum:3:10 @ Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.

wbs@Nahum:3:11 @ Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.

wbs@Nahum:3:12 @ All thy strong holds shall be like fig-trees with the first ripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.

wbs@Nahum:3:13 @ Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open to thy enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.

wbs@Nahum:3:14 @ Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick-kiln.

wbs@Nahum:3:15 @ There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the canker-worm: make thyself many as the canker-worm, make thyself many as the locusts.

wbs@Nahum:3:16 @ Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the canker-worm spoileth, and flieth away.

wbs@Nahum:3:17 @ Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which settle in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

wbs@Nahum:3:18 @ Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.

wbs@Nahum:3:19 @ There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the fame of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?

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

wbs@Habakkuk:1:2 @ O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out to thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!

wbs@Habakkuk:1:3 @ Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for devastation and violence are before me: and there are that raise strife and contention.

wbs@Habakkuk:1:4 @ Therefore the law is slackened, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth encompass the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

wbs@Habakkuk:1:5 @ Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you.

wbs@Habakkuk:1:6 @ For lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling-places that are not theirs.

wbs@Habakkuk:1:7 @ They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed from themselves.

wbs@Habakkuk:1:8 @ Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.

wbs@Habakkuk:1:9 @ They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

wbs@Habakkuk:1:10 @ And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn to them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.

wbs@Habakkuk:1:11 @ Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power to his god.

wbs@Habakkuk:1:12 @ Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.

wbs@Habakkuk:1:13 @ Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: why lookest thou on them that deal treacherously, and keepest silence when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

wbs@Habakkuk:1:14 @ And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping animals that have no ruler over them?

wbs@Habakkuk:1:15 @ They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.

wbs@Habakkuk:1:16 @ Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn incense to their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their food plenteous.

wbs@Habakkuk:1:17 @ Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?

wbs@Habakkuk:2:1 @ I will stand upon my watch, and seat myself upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say to me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

wbs@Habakkuk:2:2 @ And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

wbs@Habakkuk:2:3 @ For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it may tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

wbs@Habakkuk:2:4 @ Behold, his soul which is lifted up, is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

wbs@Habakkuk:2:5 @ Yes also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire, as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth to him all nations, and collecteth to him all people:

wbs@Habakkuk:2:6 @ Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!

wbs@Habakkuk:2:7 @ Shall they not rise suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall disturb thee, and thou shalt be for booties to them?

wbs@Habakkuk:2:8 @ Because thou hast laid waste many nations, all the remnant of the people shall lay thee waste; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

wbs@Habakkuk:2:9 @ Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!

wbs@Habakkuk:2:10 @ Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.

wbs@Habakkuk:2:15 @ Woe to him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!

wbs@Habakkuk:2:16 @ Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD'S right hand shall be turned to thee, and shameful vomiting shall be on thy glory.

wbs@Habakkuk:2:17 @ For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

wbs@Habakkuk:2:18 @ What profiteth the graven image that its maker hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?

wbs@Habakkuk:3:7 @ I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

wbs@Habakkuk:3:8 @ Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thy anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thy horses, and thy chariots of salvation?

wbs@Habakkuk:3:9 @ Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.

wbs@Habakkuk:3:11 @ The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thy arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.

wbs@Habakkuk:3:12 @ Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.

wbs@Habakkuk:3:13 @ Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thy anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by uncovering the foundation to the neck. Selah.

wbs@Zechariah:7:10 @ And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.

wbs@Zechariah:7:11 @ But they refused to hearken, and withdrew the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

wbs@Zechariah:7:12 @ Yes, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.

wbs@Zechariah:7:13 @ Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:

wbs@Zechariah:7:14 @ But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.

wbs@Zechariah:8:1 @ Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,

wbs@Zechariah:8:2 @ Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.

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

wbs@Zechariah:8:4 @ Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.

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

wbs@Zechariah:8:6 @ Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.

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

wbs@Zechariah:8:9 @ Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, who were in the day when the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

wbs@Zechariah:8:10 @ For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbor.

wbs@Zechariah:8:11 @ But now I will not be to the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.

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

wbs@Zechariah:8:13 @ And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, let your hands be strong.

wbs@Zechariah:8:14 @ For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not;

wbs@Zechariah:8:16 @ These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

wbs@Zechariah:8:17 @ And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.

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

wbs@Zechariah:8:19 @ Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.

wbs@Zechariah:10:1 @ Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD will make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

wbs@Zechariah:10:2 @ For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled because there was no shepherd.

wbs@Zechariah:10:3 @ My anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.

wbs@Zechariah:11:7 @ And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took to me two staffs; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.

wbs@Zechariah:11:8 @ Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

wbs@Zechariah:11:9 @ Then said I, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat, every one the flesh of another.

wbs@Zechariah:11:10 @ And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.

wbs@Zechariah:11:11 @ And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.

wbs@Zechariah:11:12 @ And I said to them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.

wbs@Zechariah:11:13 @ And the LORD said to me, Cast it to the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

wbs@Zechariah:11:14 @ Then I cut asunder my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

wbs@Zechariah:11:15 @ And the LORD said to me, Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

wbs@Zechariah:11:16 @ For lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit those that are cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

wbs@Zechariah:11:17 @ Woe to the idle shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be wholly dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

wbs@Zechariah:12:4 @ In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.

wbs@Zechariah:12:5 @ And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

wbs@Zechariah:12:6 @ In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people around, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
