nkjv@Hosea:1:4 @ Then the LORD said to him: "Call his name Jezreel, For in a little while I will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, And bring an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
nkjv@Hosea:1:6 @ And she conceived again and bore a daughter. Then God said to him: "Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, For I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, But I will utterly take them away.
nkjv@Hosea:1:8 @ Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son.
nkjv@Hosea:1:9 @ Then God said: "Call his name Lo-Ammi, For you are not My people, And I will not be your God.
nkjv@Hosea:2:2 @ "Bring charges against your mother, bring charges; For she is not My wife, nor am I her Husband! Let her put away her harlotries from her sight, And her adulteries from between her breasts;
nkjv@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother has played the harlot; She who conceived them has behaved shamefully. For she said, "I will go after my lovers, Who give me my bread and my water, My wool and my linen, My oil and my drink.'
nkjv@Hosea:2:15 @ I will give her her vineyards from there, And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope; She shall sing there, As in the days of her youth, As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.

nkjv@Hosea:4:14 @ "I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry, Nor your brides when they commit adultery; For the men themselves go apart with harlots, And offer sacrifices with a ritual harlot. Therefore people who do not understand will be trampled.

nkjv@Hosea:7:1 @ "When I would have healed Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, And the wickedness of Samaria. For they have committed fraud; A thief comes in; A band of robbers takes spoil outside.
nkjv@Hosea:7:5 @ In the day of our king Princes have made him sick, inflamed with wine; He stretched out his hand with scoffers.
nkjv@Hosea:7:6 @ They prepare their heart like an oven, While they lie in wait; Their baker sleeps all night; In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.
nkjv@Hosea:7:7 @ They are all hot, like an oven, And have devoured their judges; All their kings have fallen. None among them calls upon Me.
nkjv@Hosea:7:8 @ "Ephraim has mixed himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake unturned.
nkjv@Hosea:8:5 @ Your calf is rejected, O Samaria! My anger is aroused against them-- How long until they attain to innocence?
nkjv@Hosea:8:6 @ For from Israel is even this: A workman made it, and it is not God; But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.
nkjv@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up; Now they are among the Gentiles Like a vessel in which is no pleasure.
nkjv@Hosea:8:10 @ Yes, though they have hired among the nations, Now I will gather them; And they shall sorrow a little, Because of the burden of the king of princes.
nkjv@Hosea:9:10 @ "I found Israel Like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers As the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal Peor, And separated themselves to that shame; They became an abomination like the thing they loved.
nkjv@Hosea:9:17 @ My God will cast them away, Because they did not obey Him; And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
nkjv@Hosea:10:5 @ The inhabitants of Samaria fear Because of the calf of Beth Aven. For its people mourn for it, And its priests shriek for it-- Because its glory has departed from it.
nkjv@Hosea:10:6 @ The idol also shall be carried to Assyria As a present for King Jareb. Ephraim shall receive shame, And Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
nkjv@Hosea:10:7 @ As for Samaria, her king is cut off Like a twig on the water.
nkjv@Hosea:10:14 @ Therefore tumult shall arise among your people, And all your fortresses shall be plundered As Shalman plundered Beth Arbel in the day of battle-- A mother dashed in pieces upon her children.
nkjv@Hosea:11:9 @ I will not execute the fierceness of My anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, The Holy One in your midst; And I will not come with terror.

nkjv@Hosea:13:15 @ Though he is fruitful among his brethren, An east wind shall come; The wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness. Then his spring shall become dry, And his fountain shall be dried up. He shall plunder the treasury of every desirable prize.
nkjv@Hosea:13:16 @ Samaria is held guilty, For she has rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword, Their infants shall be dashed in pieces, And their women with child ripped open.
nkjv@Hosea:14:8 @ "Ephraim shall say, "What have I to do anymore with idols?' I have heard and observed him. I am like a green cypress tree; Your fruit is found in Me."
nkjv@Joel:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
nkjv@Joel:1:8 @ Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth For the husband of her youth.
nkjv@Joel:1:11 @ Be ashamed, you farmers, Wail, you vinedressers, For the wheat and the barley; Because the harvest of the field has perished.
nkjv@Joel:1:13 @ Gird yourselves and lament, you priests; Wail, you who minister before the altar; Come, lie all night in sackcloth, You who minister to my God; For the grain offering and the drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God.
nkjv@Joel:1:17 @ The seed shrivels under the clods, Storehouses are in shambles; Barns are broken down, For the grain has withered.
nkjv@Joel:1:19 @ O LORD, to You I cry out; For fire has devoured the open pastures, And a flame has burned all the trees of the field.
nkjv@Joel:2:3 @ A fire devours before them, And behind them a flame burns; The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, And behind them a desolate wilderness; Surely nothing shall escape them.
nkjv@Joel:2:5 @ With a noise like chariots Over mountaintops they leap, Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble, Like a strong people set in battle array.
nkjv@Joel:2:11 @ The LORD gives voice before His army, For His camp is very great; For strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; Who can endure it?
nkjv@Joel:2:16 @ Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room.
nkjv@Joel:2:17 @ Let the priests, who minister to the LORD, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, "Spare Your people, O LORD, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, "Where is their God?"'
nkjv@Joel:2:19 @ The LORD will answer and say to His people, "Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations.
nkjv@Joel:2:25 @ "So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.
nkjv@Joel:2:26 @ You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.
nkjv@Joel:2:27 @ Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the LORD your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame.
nkjv@Joel:2:28 @ "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.
nkjv@Joel:2:32 @ And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the LORD has said, Among the remnant whom the LORD calls.
nkjv@Joel:3:2 @ I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.

nkjv@Amos:1:11 @ Thus says 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; His anger tore perpetually, And he kept his wrath forever.

nkjv@Amos:3:5 @ Will a bird fall into a snare on the earth, where there is no trap for it? Will a snare spring up from the earth, if it has caught nothing at all?

nkjv@Amos:3:11 @ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "An adversary shall be all around the land; He shall sap your strength from you, And your palaces shall be plundered."

nkjv@Amos:3:13 @ Hear and testify against the house of Jacob," Says the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
nkjv@Amos:3:14 @ "That in the day I punish Israel for their transgressions, I will also visit destruction on the altars of Bethel; And the horns of the altar shall be cut off And fall to the ground.

nkjv@Amos:4:7 @ "I also withheld rain from you, When there were still three months to the harvest. I made it rain on one city, I withheld rain from another city. One part was rained upon, And where it did not rain the part withered.

nkjv@Amos:4:9 @ "I blasted you with blight and mildew. When your gardens increased, Your vineyards, Your fig trees, And your olive trees, The locust devoured them; Yet you have not returned to Me," Says the LORD.
nkjv@Amos:4:10 @ "I sent among you a plague after the manner of Egypt; Your young men I killed with a sword, Along with your captive horses; I made the stench of your camps come up into your nostrils; Yet you have not returned to Me," Says the LORD.
nkjv@Amos:4:11 @ "I overthrew some of you, As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, And you were like a firebrand plucked from the burning; Yet you have not returned to Me," Says the LORD.

nkjv@Amos:4:13 @ For behold, He who forms mountains, And creates the wind, Who declares to man what his thought is, And makes the morning darkness, Who treads the high places of the earth-- The LORD God of hosts is His name.
nkjv@Amos:5:1 @ Hear this word which I take up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel:
nkjv@Amos:5:2 @ The virgin of Israel has fallen; She will rise no more. She lies forsaken on her land; There is no one to raise her up.
nkjv@Amos:5:3 @ For thus says the Lord GOD: "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 to the house of Israel."
nkjv@Amos:5:4 @ For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel: "Seek Me and live;
nkjv@Amos:5:5 @ But do not seek Bethel, Nor enter Gilgal, Nor pass over to Beersheba; For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, And Bethel shall come to nothing.
nkjv@Amos:5:6 @ Seek the LORD and live, Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, And devour it, With no one to quench it in Bethel--
nkjv@Amos:5:7 @ You who turn justice to wormwood, And lay righteousness to rest in the earth!"
nkjv@Amos:5:8 @ He made the Pleiades and Orion; He turns the shadow of death into morning And makes the day dark as night; He calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the face of the earth; The LORD is His name.
nkjv@Amos:5:9 @ He rains ruin upon the strong, So that fury comes upon the fortress.
nkjv@Amos:5:10 @ They hate the one who rebukes in the gate, And they abhor the one who speaks uprightly.
nkjv@Amos:5:11 @ Therefore, because you tread down the poor And take grain taxes from him, Though you have built houses of hewn stone, Yet you shall not dwell in them; You have planted pleasant vineyards, But you shall not drink wine from them.
nkjv@Amos:5:12 @ For I know your manifold transgressions And your mighty sins: Afflicting the just and taking bribes; Diverting the poor from justice at the gate.
nkjv@Amos:5:13 @ Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time, For it is an evil time.
nkjv@Amos:5:14 @ Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the LORD God of hosts will be with you, As you have spoken.
nkjv@Amos:5:15 @ Hate evil, love good; Establish justice in the gate. It may be that the LORD God of hosts Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
nkjv@Amos:5:16 @ Therefore the LORD God of hosts, the Lord, says this: "There shall be wailing in all streets, And they shall say in all the highways, "Alas! Alas!' They shall call the farmer to mourning, And skillful lamenters to wailing.
nkjv@Amos:5:17 @ In all vineyards there shall be wailing, For I will pass through you," Says the LORD.
nkjv@Amos:5:18 @ Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! For what good is the day of the LORD to you? It will be darkness, and not light.
nkjv@Amos:5:19 @ It will be as though a man fled from a lion, And a bear met him! Or as though he went into the house, Leaned his hand on the wall, And a serpent bit him!
nkjv@Amos:5:20 @ Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?
nkjv@Amos:5:21 @ "I hate, I despise your feast days, And I do not savor your sacred assemblies.
nkjv@Amos:5:22 @ Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.
nkjv@Amos:5:23 @ Take away from Me the noise of your songs, For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.
nkjv@Amos:5:24 @ But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream.
nkjv@Amos:5:25 @ "Did you offer Me sacrifices and offerings In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
nkjv@Amos:5:26 @ You also carried Sikkuth your king And Chiun, your idols, The star of your gods, Which you made for yourselves.
nkjv@Amos:5:27 @ Therefore I will send you into captivity beyond Damascus," Says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
nkjv@Amos:6:1 @ Woe to you who are at ease in Zion, And trust in Mount Samaria, Notable persons in the chief nation, To whom the house of Israel comes!
nkjv@Amos:6:2 @ Go over to Calneh and see; And from there go to Hamath the great; Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Or is their territory greater than your territory?
nkjv@Amos:6:3 @ Woe to you who put far off the day of doom, Who cause the seat of violence to come near;
nkjv@Amos:6:4 @ Who lie on beds of ivory, Stretch out on your couches, Eat lambs from the flock And calves from the midst of the stall;
nkjv@Amos:6:5 @ Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments, And invent for yourselves musical instruments like David;
nkjv@Amos:6:6 @ Who drink wine from bowls, And anoint yourselves with the best ointments, But are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
nkjv@Amos:6:7 @ Therefore they shall now go captive as the first of the captives, And those who recline at banquets shall be removed.
nkjv@Amos:6:8 @ The Lord GOD has sworn by Himself, The LORD God of hosts says: "I abhor the pride of Jacob, And hate his palaces; Therefore I will deliver up the city And all that is in it."
nkjv@Amos:6:9 @ Then it shall come to pass, that if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.
nkjv@Amos:6:10 @ And when a relative of the dead, with one who will burn the bodies, picks up the bodies to take them out of the house, he will say to one inside the house, "Are there any more with you?" Then someone will say, "None." And he will say, "Hold your tongue! For we dare not mention the name of the LORD."
nkjv@Amos:6:11 @ For behold, the LORD gives a command: He will break the great house into bits, And the little house into pieces.
nkjv@Amos:6:12 @ Do horses run on rocks? Does one plow there with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into gall, And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
nkjv@Amos:6:13 @ You who rejoice over Lo Debar, Who say, "Have we not taken Karnaim for ourselves By our own strength?"
nkjv@Amos:6:14 @ "But, behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel," Says the LORD God of hosts; "And they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath To the Valley of the Arabah."
nkjv@Amos:7:1 @ Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, He formed locust swarms at the beginning of the late crop; indeed it was the late crop after the king's mowings.
nkjv@Amos:7:2 @ And so it was, when they had finished eating the grass of the land, that I said: "O Lord GOD, forgive, I pray! Oh, that Jacob may stand, For he is small!"
nkjv@Amos:7:3 @ So the LORD relented concerning this. "It shall not be," said the LORD.
nkjv@Amos:7:4 @ Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, the Lord GOD called for conflict by fire, and it consumed the great deep and devoured the territory.
nkjv@Amos:7:5 @ Then I said: "O Lord GOD, cease, I pray! Oh, that Jacob may stand, For he is small!"
nkjv@Amos:7:6 @ So the LORD relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," said the Lord GOD.
nkjv@Amos:7:7 @ Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand.
nkjv@Amos:7:8 @ And the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said: "Behold, I am setting a plumb line In the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore.
nkjv@Amos:7:9 @ The high places of Isaac shall be desolate, And the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste. I will rise with the sword against the house of Jeroboam."
nkjv@Amos:7:10 @ Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
nkjv@Amos:7:11 @ For thus Amos has said: "Jeroboam shall die by the sword, And Israel shall surely be led away captive From their own land."'
nkjv@Amos:7:12 @ Then Amaziah said to Amos: "Go, you seer! Flee to the land of Judah. There eat bread, And there prophesy.
nkjv@Amos:7:13 @ But never again prophesy at Bethel, For it is the king's sanctuary, And it is the royal residence."
nkjv@Amos:7:14 @ Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah: "I was no prophet, Nor was I a son of a prophet, But I was a sheepbreeder And a tender of sycamore fruit.
nkjv@Amos:7:15 @ Then the LORD took me as I followed the flock, And the LORD said to me, "Go, prophesy to My people Israel.'
nkjv@Amos:7:16 @ Now therefore, hear the word of the LORD: You say, "Do not prophesy against Israel, And do not spout against the house of Isaac.'
nkjv@Amos:7:17 @ "Therefore thus says the LORD: "Your wife shall be a harlot in the city; Your sons and daughters shall fall by the sword; Your land shall be divided by survey line; You shall die in a defiled land; And Israel shall surely be led away captive From his own land."'
nkjv@Amos:8:1 @ Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, a basket of summer fruit.
nkjv@Amos:8:2 @ And He said, "Amos, what do you see?" So I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me: "The end has come upon My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore.
