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.
akjv@Hosea:1:2 @ The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take to you a wife of prostitutions and children of prostitutions: for the land has committed great prostitution, departing from the LORD.
akjv@Hosea:1:3 @ So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bore him a son.
akjv@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 on the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
akjv@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.
akjv@Hosea:1:6 @ And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And God said to him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
akjv@Hosea:1:7 @ But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
akjv@Hosea:1:8 @ Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
akjv@Hosea:1:9 @ Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for you are not my people, and I will not be your God.
akjv@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, You are not my people, there it shall be said to them, You are the sons of the living God.
akjv@Hosea:1:11 @ Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
akjv@Hosea:2:1 @ Say you to your brothers, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
akjv@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;
akjv@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 slay her with thirst.
akjv@Hosea:2:4 @ And I will not have mercy on her children; for they be the children of prostitutions.
akjv@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother has played the harlot: she that conceived them has 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.
akjv@Hosea:2:6 @ Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
akjv@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.
akjv@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.
akjv@Hosea:2:9 @ Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
akjv@Hosea:2:10 @ And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.
akjv@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.
akjv@Hosea:2:12 @ And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she has 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.
akjv@Hosea:2:13 @ And I will visit on her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me, said the LORD.
akjv@Hosea:2:14 @ Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably to her.
akjv@Hosea:2:15 @ And I will give her her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
akjv@Hosea:2:16 @ And it shall be at that day, said the LORD, that you shall call me Ishi; and shall call me no more Baali.
akjv@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.
akjv@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 things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
akjv@Hosea:2:19 @ And I will betroth you to me for ever; yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving kindness, and in mercies.
akjv@Hosea:2:20 @ I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness: and you shall know the LORD.
akjv@Hosea:2:21 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, said the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
akjv@Hosea:2:22 @ And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
akjv@Hosea:2:23 @ And I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, You are my people; and they shall say, You are my God.
akjv@Hosea:3:1 @ Then said the LORD to me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
akjv@Hosea:3:2 @ So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:
akjv@Hosea:3:3 @ And I said to her, You shall abide for me many days; you shall not play the harlot, and you shall not be for another man: so will I also be for you.
akjv@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:
akjv@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.
akjv@Hosea:4:1 @ Hear the word of the LORD, you children of Israel: for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
akjv@Hosea:4:2 @ By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood touches blood.
akjv@Hosea:4:3 @ Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwells therein 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.
akjv@Hosea:4:5 @ Therefore shall you fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with you in the night, and I will destroy your mother.
akjv@Hosea:4:8 @ They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
akjv@Hosea:4:9 @ And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
akjv@Hosea:4:10 @ For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit prostitution, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
akjv@Hosea:4:11 @ Prostitution and wine and new wine take away the heart.
akjv@Hosea:4:12 @ My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declares to them: for the spirit of prostitutions has caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
akjv@Hosea:4:13 @ They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and burn incense on the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit prostitution, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
akjv@Hosea:4:14 @ I will not punish your daughters when they commit prostitution, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that does not understand shall fall.
akjv@Hosea:4:15 @ Though you, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not you to Gilgal, neither go you up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD lives.
akjv@Hosea:4:19 @ The wind has bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
akjv@Hosea:5:1 @ Hear you this, O priests; and listen, you house of Israel; and give you ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because you have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
akjv@Hosea:5:2 @ And the rebels are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
akjv@Hosea:5:3 @ I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, you commit prostitution, and Israel is defiled.
akjv@Hosea:5:4 @ They will not frame their doings to turn to their God: for the spirit of prostitutions is in the middle of them, and they have not known the LORD.
akjv@Hosea:5:5 @ And the pride of Israel does testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.
akjv@Hosea:5:6 @ They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he has withdrawn himself from them.
akjv@Hosea:5:8 @ Blow you the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after you, O Benjamin.
akjv@Hosea:5:11 @ Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
akjv@Hosea:5:12 @ Therefore will I be to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
akjv@Hosea:5:13 @ When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
akjv@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.
akjv@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.
akjv@Hosea:6:1 @ Come, and let us return to the LORD: for he has torn, and he will heal us; he has smitten, and he will bind us up.
akjv@Hosea:6:2 @ After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
akjv@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 shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.
akjv@Hosea:6:4 @ O Ephraim, what shall I do to you? O Judah, what shall I do to you? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goes away.
akjv@Hosea:6:5 @ Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and your judgments are as the light that goes forth.
akjv@Hosea:6:6 @ For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
akjv@Hosea:6:8 @ Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
akjv@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.
akjv@Hosea:7:1 @ When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief comes in, and the troop of robbers spoils without.
akjv@Hosea:7:2 @ And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
akjv@Hosea:7:3 @ They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
akjv@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.
akjv@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 calls to me.
akjv@Hosea:7:9 @ Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knows it not: yes, gray hairs are here and there on him, yet he knows not.
akjv@Hosea:7:10 @ And the pride of Israel testifies to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
akjv@Hosea:7:14 @ And they have not cried to me with their heart, when they howled on their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
akjv@Hosea:7:15 @ Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
akjv@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.
akjv@Hosea:8:1 @ Set the trumpet to your mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
akjv@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 them idols, that they may be cut off.
akjv@Hosea:8:7 @ For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it has no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
akjv@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.
akjv@Hosea:8:13 @ They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepts them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
akjv@Hosea:8:14 @ For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and builds temples; and Judah has multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire on his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
akjv@Hosea:9:2 @ The floor and the wine press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
akjv@Hosea:9:3 @ They shall not dwell in the LORD' land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
akjv@Hosea:9:5 @ What will you do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
akjv@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 your iniquity, and the great hatred.
akjv@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.
akjv@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 Baalpeor, and separated themselves to that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
akjv@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.
akjv@Hosea:9:14 @ Give them, O LORD: what will you give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
akjv@Hosea:9:17 @ My God will cast them away, because they did not listen to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
akjv@Hosea:10:1 @ Israel is an empty vine, he brings forth fruit to himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
akjv@Hosea:10:5 @ The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
akjv@Hosea:10:6 @ It shall be also carried to Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
akjv@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.
akjv@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.
akjv@Hosea:10:11 @ And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loves to tread out the corn; but I passed over on her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
akjv@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 come and rain righteousness on you.
akjv@Hosea:10:14 @ Therefore shall a tumult arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces on her children.
akjv@Hosea:11:1 @ When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
akjv@Hosea:11:2 @ As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
akjv@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 meat to them.
akjv@Hosea:11:5 @ He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
akjv@Hosea:11:6 @ And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
akjv@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.
akjv@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 middle of you: and I will not enter into the city.
akjv@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, said the LORD.
akjv@Hosea:11:12 @ Ephraim compasses me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet rules with God, and is faithful with the saints.
akjv@Hosea:12:1 @ Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind: he daily increases lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
akjv@Hosea:12:2 @ The LORD has also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
akjv@Hosea:12:3 @ He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
akjv@Hosea:12:4 @ Yes, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us;
akjv@Hosea:12:6 @ Therefore turn you to your God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on your God continually.
akjv@Hosea:12:7 @ He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loves to oppress.
akjv@Hosea:12:8 @ And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labors they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
akjv@Hosea:12:9 @ And I that am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt will yet make you to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
akjv@Hosea:12:10 @ I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
akjv@Hosea:12:12 @ And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
akjv@Hosea:12:13 @ And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
akjv@Hosea:12:14 @ Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood on him, and his reproach shall his LORD return to him.
akjv@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 the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
akjv@Hosea:13:3 @ Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud and as the early dew that passes away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
akjv@Hosea:13:4 @ Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt, and you shall know no god but me: for there is no savior beside me.
akjv@Hosea:13:5 @ I did know you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
akjv@Hosea:13:6 @ According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
akjv@Hosea:13:8 @ I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the lobe of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
akjv@Hosea:13:10 @ I will be your king: where is any other that may save you in all your cities? and your judges of whom you said, Give me a king and princes?
akjv@Hosea:13:11 @ I gave you a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath.
akjv@Hosea:13:15 @ Though he be fruitful among his brothers, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
akjv@Hosea:13:16 @ Samaria shall become desolate; 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 shall be ripped up.
akjv@Hosea:14:2 @ Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say to him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
akjv@Hosea:14:3 @ Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride on horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, You are our gods: for in you the fatherless finds mercy.
akjv@Hosea:14:5 @ I will be as the dew to Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
akjv@Hosea:14:6 @ His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
akjv@Hosea:14:7 @ They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
akjv@Hosea:14:8 @ Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is your fruit found.
akjv@Hosea:14:9 @ Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
akjv@Joel:1:2 @ Hear this, you old men, and give ear, all you inhabitants of the land. Has this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
akjv@Joel:1:3 @ Tell you your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
akjv@Joel:1:4 @ That which the palmerworm has left has the locust eaten; and that which the locust has left has the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm has left has the caterpillar eaten.
akjv@Joel:1:5 @ Awake, you drunkards, and weep; and howl, all you drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
akjv@Joel:1:6 @ For a nation is come up on my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the cheek teeth of a great lion.
akjv@Joel:1:7 @ He has laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he has made it clean bore, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
akjv@Joel:1:8 @ Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
akjv@Joel:1:9 @ The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD' ministers, mourn.
akjv@Joel:1:10 @ The field is wasted, the land mourns; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languishes.
akjv@Joel:1:11 @ Be you ashamed, O you farmers; howl, O you vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
akjv@Joel:1:12 @ The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languishes; 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.
akjv@Joel:1:13 @ Gird yourselves, and lament, you priests: howl, you ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withheld from the house of your God.
akjv@Joel:1:14 @ Sanctify you a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry to the LORD,
akjv@Joel:1:15 @ Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
akjv@Joel:1:16 @ Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
akjv@Joel:1:19 @ O LORD, to you will I cry: for the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the field.
akjv@Joel:1:20 @ The beasts of the field cry also to you: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
akjv@Joel:2:1 @ Blow you the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD comes, for it is near at hand;
akjv@Joel:2:2 @ A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread on the mountains: a great people and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
akjv@Joel:2:3 @ A fire devours before them; and behind them a flame burns: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yes, and nothing shall escape them.
akjv@Joel:2:4 @ The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
akjv@Joel:2:7 @ They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
akjv@Joel:2:8 @ Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall on the sword, they shall not be wounded.
akjv@Joel:2:9 @ They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run on the wall, they shall climb up on the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
akjv@Joel:2:10 @ The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
akjv@Joel:2:11 @ And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executes his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
akjv@Joel:2:12 @ Therefore also now, said the LORD, turn you even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
akjv@Joel:2:13 @ And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn to the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil.
akjv@Joel:2:14 @ Who knows if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering to the LORD your God?
akjv@Joel:2:16 @ Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
akjv@Joel:2:17 @ Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare your people, O LORD, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: why should they say among the people, Where is their God?
akjv@Joel:2:18 @ Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
akjv@Joel:2:19 @ Yes, the LORD will answer and say to his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
akjv@Joel:2:20 @ But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill smell shall come up, because he has done great things.
akjv@Joel:2:21 @ Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
akjv@Joel:2:22 @ Be not afraid, you beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree bears her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
akjv@Joel:2:23 @ Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
akjv@Joel:2:24 @ And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
akjv@Joel:2:25 @ And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
akjv@Joel:2:26 @ And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that has dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
akjv@Joel:2:27 @ And you shall know that I am in the middle of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
akjv@Joel:2:28 @ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
akjv@Joel:2:29 @ And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
akjv@Joel:2:30 @ And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
akjv@Joel:2:31 @ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
akjv@Joel:2:32 @ And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
akjv@Joel:3:1 @ For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
akjv@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 parted my land.
akjv@Joel:3:3 @ And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
akjv@Joel:3:4 @ Yes, and what have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will you render me a recompense? and if you recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense on your own head;
akjv@Joel:3:5 @ Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
akjv@Joel:3:6 @ The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have you sold to the Grecians, that you might remove them far from their border.
akjv@Joel:3:7 @ Behold, I will raise them out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your recompense on your own head:
akjv@Joel:3:8 @ And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD has spoken it.
akjv@Joel:3:10 @ Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
akjv@Joel:3:11 @ Assemble yourselves, and come, all you heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause your mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
akjv@Joel:3:12 @ Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
akjv@Joel:3:15 @ The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
akjv@Joel:3:16 @ The LORD also shall 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.
akjv@Joel:3:17 @ So shall you 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.
akjv@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 out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
akjv@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.
akjv@Joel:3:20 @ But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
akjv@Amos:1:1 @ The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
akjv@Amos:1:2 @ And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
akjv@Amos:1:3 @ Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
akjv@Amos:1:5 @ I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holds the scepter from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir, said the LORD.
akjv@Amos:1:6 @ Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:
akjv@Amos:1:8 @ And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holds the scepter from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, said the Lord GOD.
akjv@Amos:1:9 @ Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:
akjv@Amos:1:11 @ Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
akjv@Amos:1:13 @ Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:
akjv@Amos:1:14 @ But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:
akjv@Amos:1:15 @ And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, said the LORD.
akjv@Amos:2:1 @ Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
akjv@Amos:2:2 @ But I will send a fire on Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
akjv@Amos:2:3 @ And I will cut off the judge from the middle thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, said the LORD.
akjv@Amos:2:4 @ Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:
akjv@Amos:2:5 @ But I will send a fire on Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
akjv@Amos:2:6 @ Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
akjv@Amos:2:7 @ That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in to the same maid, to profane my holy name:
akjv@Amos:2:8 @ And they lay themselves down on clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
akjv@Amos:2:9 @ Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
akjv@Amos:2:10 @ Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
akjv@Amos:2:11 @ And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O you children of Israel? said the LORD.
akjv@Amos:2:12 @ But you gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
akjv@Amos:2:14 @ Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
akjv@Amos:2:15 @ Neither shall he stand that handles the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rides the horse deliver himself.
akjv@Amos:2:16 @ And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, said the LORD.
akjv@Amos:3:1 @ Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
akjv@Amos:3:5 @ Can a bird fall in a snare on the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
akjv@Amos:3:6 @ Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD has not done it?
akjv@Amos:3:9 @ Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the middle thereof, and the oppressed in the middle thereof.
akjv@Amos:3:10 @ For they know not to do right, said the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
akjv@Amos:3:11 @ Therefore thus said the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down your strength from you, and your palaces shall be spoiled.
akjv@Amos:3:12 @ Thus said the LORD; As the shepherd takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
akjv@Amos:3:13 @ Hear you, and testify in the house of Jacob, said the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
akjv@Amos:3:14 @ That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel on him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
akjv@Amos:3:15 @ And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, said the LORD.
akjv@Amos:4:1 @ Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.
akjv@Amos:4:2 @ The Lord GOD has sworn by his holiness, that, see, the days shall come on you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
akjv@Amos:4:3 @ And you shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and you shall cast them into the palace, said the LORD.
akjv@Amos:4:4 @ Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:
akjv@Amos:4:5 @ And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this likes you, O you children of Israel, said the Lord GOD.
akjv@Amos:4:6 @ And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have you not returned to me, said the LORD.
akjv@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 on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city: one piece was rained on, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
akjv@Amos:4:8 @ So two or three cities wandered to one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have you not returned to me, said the LORD.
akjv@Amos:4:9 @ I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have you not returned to me, said the LORD.
akjv@Amos:4:10 @ I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up to your nostrils: yet have you not returned to me, said the LORD.
akjv@Amos:4:11 @ I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have you not returned to me, said the LORD.
akjv@Amos:4:12 @ Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel:
