web@Hosea:1:9 @ He said, "Call his name Lo-Ammi {Lo-Ammi means "not my people"}; for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.

web@Hosea:2:2 @ Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
web@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, 'I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'
web@Hosea:2:15 @ I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

web@Hosea:4:7 @ As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me. I will change their glory into shame.
web@Hosea:4:16 @ For Israel has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Then how will Yahweh feed them like a lamb in a meadow.

web@Hosea:8:10 @ But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
web@Hosea:8:11 @ Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.
web@Hosea:9:10 @ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
web@Hosea:9:17 @ My God will cast them away, because they did not listen to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.
web@Hosea:10:5 @ The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven; for its people will mourn over it, Along with its priests who rejoiced over it, for its glory, because it has departed from it.

web@Hosea:10:7 @ Samaria and her king float away, like a twig on the water.
web@Hosea:10:14 @ Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.

web@Hosea:13:15 @ Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, the breath of Yahweh coming up from the wilderness; and his spring will become dry, and his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.

web@Joel:2:13 @ Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to Yahweh, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.
web@Joel:2:17 @ Let the priests, the ministers of Yahweh, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, "Spare your people, Yahweh, and don't give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?'"

web@Amos:5:4 @ For thus says Yahweh to the house of Israel: "Seek me, and you will live;
web@Amos:5:5 @ but don't seek Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and don't pass to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.

web@Amos:5:7 @ You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth:

web@Amos:5:10 @ They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.
web@Amos:5:11 @ Forasmuch therefore as you trample on the poor, and take taxes from him of wheat: You have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.
web@Amos:5:12 @ For I know how many your offenses, and how great are your sins-- you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn aside the needy in the courts.
web@Amos:5:13 @ Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.
web@Amos:5:14 @ Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say.
web@Amos:5:15 @ Hate evil, love good, and establish justice in the courts. It may be that Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph."
web@Amos:5:16 @ Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Armies, the Lord: "Wailing will be in all the broad ways; and they will say in all the streets, 'Alas! Alas!' and they will call the farmer to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing.
web@Amos:5:17 @ In all vineyards there will be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of you," says Yahweh.
web@Amos:5:18 @ "Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh! Why do you long for the day of Yahweh? It is darkness, and not light.
web@Amos:5:19 @ As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.
web@Amos:5:20 @ Won't the day of Yahweh be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
web@Amos:5:21 @ I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can't stand your solemn assemblies.
web@Amos:5:22 @ Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
web@Amos:5:23 @ Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
web@Amos:5:24 @ But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
web@Amos:5:25 @ "Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel?
web@Amos:5:26 @ You also carried the tent of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
web@Amos:5:27 @ Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus," says Yahweh, whose name is the God of Armies.
web@Amos:6:1 @ Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
web@Amos:6:2 @ Go to Calneh, and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?

web@Amos:6:4 @ Who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
web@Amos:6:5 @ who strum on the strings of a harp; who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
web@Amos:6:6 @ who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
web@Amos:6:7 @ Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive; and the feasting and lounging will end.
web@Amos:6:8 @ "The Lord Yahweh has sworn by himself," says Yahweh, the God of Armies: "I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
web@Amos:6:9 @ It will happen, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
web@Amos:6:10 @ "When a man's relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, 'Is there yet any with you?' And he says, 'No;' then he will say, 'Hush! Indeed we must not mention the name of Yahweh.'
web@Amos:6:11 @ "For, behold, Yahweh commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.
web@Amos:6:12 @ Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness;
web@Amos:6:13 @ you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, 'Haven't we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?'
web@Amos:6:14 @ For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel," says Yahweh, the God of Armies; "and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah."
web@Amos:7:1 @ Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: and behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and behold, it was the latter growth after the king's harvest.
web@Amos:7:2 @ It happened that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, "Lord Yahweh, forgive, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
web@Amos:7:3 @ Yahweh relented concerning this. "It shall not be," says Yahweh.
web@Amos:7:4 @ Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me and behold, the Lord Yahweh called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.
web@Amos:7:5 @ Then I said, "Lord Yahweh, stop, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
web@Amos:7:6 @ Yahweh relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," says the Lord Yahweh.
web@Amos:7:7 @ Thus he showed me and behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
web@Amos:7:8 @ Yahweh said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
web@Amos:7:9 @ The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."
web@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.
web@Amos:7:11 @ For Amos says, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"
web@Amos:7:12 @ Amaziah also said to Amos, "You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
web@Amos:7:13 @ but don't prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house!"
web@Amos:7:14 @ Then Amos answered Amaziah, "I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;
web@Amos:7:15 @ and Yahweh took me from following the flock, and Yahweh said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
web@Amos:7:16 @ Now therefore listen to the word of Yahweh: 'You say, Don't prophesy against Israel, and don't preach against the house of Isaac.'
web@Amos:7:17 @ Therefore thus says Yahweh: 'Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"
web@Amos:8:1 @ Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.
web@Amos:8:2 @ He said, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then Yahweh said to me, "The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
