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:1:10 @ 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:2:2 @ 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:2:4 @ And I will not have mercy on her children; for they be the children of prostitutions.
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:2:12 @ 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:2:15 @ 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:2:17 @ 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: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:3:4 @ 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:4:3 @ 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:4:6 @ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
akjv@Hosea:4:8 @ They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
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:4:12 @ 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:4:15 @ 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:5:4 @ 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:5:9 @ Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
akjv@Hosea:5:10 @ The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
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:6:5 @ 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:6:10 @ I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the prostitution of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
akjv@Hosea:6:11 @ Also, O Judah, he has set an harvest for you, when I returned the captivity of my people.
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:7:5 @ 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:7:10 @ 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:7:12 @ When they shall go, I will spread my net on them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
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:8:3 @ Israel has cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
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:8:5 @ Your calf, O Samaria, has cast you off; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocence?
akjv@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.
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:8:12 @ I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
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:9:4 @ 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 thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.
akjv@Hosea:9:5 @ What will you do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
akjv@Hosea:9:6 @ For, see, 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.
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:9:9 @ They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
akjv@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 rebels.
akjv@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.
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:10:4 @ They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
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:10:7 @ As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam on the water.
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:10:9 @ O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
akjv@Hosea:10:13 @ You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did trust in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
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:10:15 @ So shall Bethel do to you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
akjv@Hosea:11:1 @ When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
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:11:9 @ 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:12:5 @ Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
akjv@Hosea:12:7 @ He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loves to oppress.
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:12:11 @ 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.
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:13:1 @ When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
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:13:8 @ 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:13:12 @ The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
akjv@Hosea:13:13 @ The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come on him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
akjv@Hosea:13:14 @ I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be your plagues; O grave, I will be your destruction: repentance shall be hid from my eyes.
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: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:14:7 @ 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:14:9 @ 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:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
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:1:5 @ 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:1:7 @ 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:1:11 @ 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:1:18 @ How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
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:2:5 @ Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
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:2:11 @ 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:2:13 @ 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:2:20 @ 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:2:22 @ 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:2:26 @ 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:2:30 @ 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: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:3:4 @ 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:3:6 @ 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:3:9 @ Proclaim you this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:

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: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:2:13 @ Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
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: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:3:2 @ You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
akjv@Amos:3:4 @ Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
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:3:12 @ 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:4:5 @ 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:4:10 @ 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:4:13 @ For, see, he that forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, that makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.
akjv@Amos:5:1 @ Hear you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
akjv@Amos:5:2 @ The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken on her land; there is none to raise her up.
akjv@Amos:5:3 @ For thus said the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
akjv@Amos:5:4 @ For thus said the LORD to the house of Israel, Seek you me, and you shall live:
akjv@Amos:5:6 @ Seek the LORD, and you shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
akjv@Amos:5:7 @ You who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
akjv@Amos:5:8 @ Seek him that makes the seven stars and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night: that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:
akjv@Amos:5:11 @ For as much therefore as your treading is on the poor, and you take from him burdens of wheat: you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink wine of them.
akjv@Amos:5:14 @ Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.
akjv@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.
akjv@Amos:5:16 @ Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, said thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the farmer to mourning, and such as are skillful of lamentation to wailing.
akjv@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.
akjv@Amos:5:20 @ Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
akjv@Amos:5:22 @ Though you offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
akjv@Amos:5:23 @ Take you away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your viols.
akjv@Amos:5:25 @ Have you offered to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
akjv@Amos:5:26 @ But you have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.
akjv@Amos:5:27 @ Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, said the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
akjv@Amos:6:1 @ Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
akjv@Amos:6:2 @ Pass you to Calneh, and see; and from there go you to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
akjv@Amos:6:3 @ You that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
akjv@Amos:6:4 @ That 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 middle of the stall;
akjv@Amos:6:5 @ That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;
akjv@Amos:6:6 @ That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
akjv@Amos:6:7 @ Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
akjv@Amos:6:8 @ The Lord GOD has sworn by himself, said the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
akjv@Amos:6:10 @ And a man' uncle shall take him up, and he that burns him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say to him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with you? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold your tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
akjv@Amos:6:12 @ Shall horses run on the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for you have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
akjv@Amos:6:13 @ You which rejoice in a thing of nothing, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
akjv@Amos:6:14 @ But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, said the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath to the river of the wilderness.
akjv@Amos:7:1 @ Thus has the Lord GOD showed to me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, see, it was the latter growth after the king' mowings.
akjv@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 you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
akjv@Amos:7:8 @ And the LORD said to me, Amos, what see you? And I said, A plumb line. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumb line in the middle of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
akjv@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.
akjv@Amos:7:10 @ Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
akjv@Amos:7:11 @ For thus Amos said, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
akjv@Amos:7:12 @ Also Amaziah said to Amos, O you seer, go, flee you away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
akjv@Amos:7:14 @ Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet' son; but I was an herdsman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
akjv@Amos:7:16 @ Now therefore hear you the word of the LORD: You say, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not your word against the house of Isaac.
akjv@Amos:7:17 @ Therefore thus said the LORD; Your wife shall be an harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you shall die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
akjv@Amos:8:1 @ Thus has the Lord GOD showed to me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
akjv@Amos:8:2 @ And he said, Amos, what see you? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD to me, The end is come on my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
akjv@Amos:8:3 @ And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, said the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
akjv@Amos:8:4 @ Hear this, O you that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
akjv@Amos:8:6 @ That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yes, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
akjv@Amos:8:7 @ The LORD has sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
akjv@Amos:8:8 @ Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwells therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
akjv@Amos:8:10 @ And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
akjv@Amos:8:11 @ Behold, the days come, said 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:
akjv@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.
akjv@Amos:8:14 @ They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Your god, O Dan, lives; and, The manner of Beersheba lives; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
akjv@Amos:9:1 @ I saw the LORD standing on 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 flees of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered.
akjv@Amos:9:3 @ And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:
akjv@Amos:9:5 @ And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that touches the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
akjv@Amos:9:6 @ It is he that builds his stories in the heaven, and has founded his troop in the earth; he that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.
akjv@Amos:9:7 @ Are you not as children
