Hosea:1:2 @ When the LORD began to speak by Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea: "Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry And children of harlotry, For the land has committed great harlotry By departing from the LORD."
nkjv@Hosea:1:3 @ So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
nkjv@Hosea:1:4 @ Then the LORD said to him: "Call his name Jezreel, For in a little while I will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, And bring an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
nkjv@Hosea:1:6 @ And she conceived again and bore a daughter. Then God said to him: "Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, For I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, But I will utterly take them away.
nkjv@Hosea:1:7 @ Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, Will save them by the LORD their God, And will not save them by bow, Nor by sword or battle, By horses or horsemen."
nkjv@Hosea:1:8 @ Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son.
nkjv@Hosea:1:9 @ Then God said: "Call his name Lo-Ammi, For you are not My people, And I will not be your God.
nkjv@Hosea:1:10 @ "Yet the number of the children of Israel Shall be as the sand of the sea, Which cannot be measured or numbered. And it shall come to pass In the place where it was said to them, "You are not My people,' There it shall be said to them, "You are sons of the living God.'
nkjv@Hosea:1:11 @ Then the children of Judah and the children of Israel Shall be gathered together, And appoint for themselves one head; And they shall come up out of the land, For great will be the day of Jezreel!
nkjv@Hosea:2:1 @ Say to your brethren, "My people,' And to your sisters, "Mercy is shown.'
nkjv@Hosea:2:2 @ "Bring charges against your mother, bring charges; For she is not My wife, nor am I her Husband! Let her put away her harlotries from her sight, And her adulteries from between her breasts;
nkjv@Hosea:2:4 @ "I will not have mercy on her children, For they are the children of harlotry.
nkjv@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother has played the harlot; She who conceived them has behaved shamefully. For she said, "I will go after my lovers, Who give me my bread and my water, My wool and my linen, My oil and my drink.'
nkjv@Hosea:2:7 @ She will chase her lovers, But not overtake them; Yes, she will seek them, but not find them. Then she will say, "I will go and return to my first husband, For then it was better for me than now.'
nkjv@Hosea:2:9 @ "Therefore I will return and take away My grain in its time And My new wine in its season, And will take back My wool and My linen, Given to cover her nakedness.
nkjv@Hosea:2:12 @ "And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, Of which she has said, "These are my wages that my lovers have given me.' So I will make them a forest, And the beasts of the field shall eat them.
nkjv@Hosea:2:13 @ I will punish her For the days of the Baals to which she burned incense. She decked herself with her earrings and jewelry, And went after her lovers; But Me she forgot," says the LORD.
nkjv@Hosea:2:15 @ I will give her her vineyards from there, And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope; She shall sing there, As in the days of her youth, As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
nkjv@Hosea:2:18 @ In that day I will make a covenant for them With the beasts of the field, With the birds of the air, And with the creeping things of the ground. Bow and sword of battle I will shatter from the earth, To make them lie down safely.
nkjv@Hosea:2:21 @ "It shall come to pass in that day That I will answer," says the LORD; "I will answer the heavens, And they shall answer the earth.
nkjv@Hosea:2:23 @ Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth, And I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; Then I will say to those who were not My people, "You are My people!' And they shall say, "You are my God!"'
nkjv@Hosea:3:1 @ Then the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the LORD for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans."
nkjv@Hosea:3:2 @ So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and one and one-half homers of barley.
nkjv@Hosea:3:4 @ For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or teraphim.
nkjv@Hosea:3:5 @ Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They shall fear the LORD and His goodness in the latter days.
nkjv@Hosea:4:1 @ Hear the word of the LORD, You children of Israel, For the LORD brings a charge against the inhabitants of the land: "There is no truth or mercy Or knowledge of God in the land.
nkjv@Hosea:4:3 @ Therefore the land will mourn; And everyone who dwells there will waste away With the beasts of the field And the birds of the air; Even the fish of the sea will be taken away.
nkjv@Hosea:4:4 @ "Now let no man contend, or rebuke another; For your people are like those who contend with the priest.
nkjv@Hosea:4:6 @ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
nkjv@Hosea:4:10 @ For they shall eat, but not have enough; They shall commit harlotry, but not increase; Because they have ceased obeying the LORD.
nkjv@Hosea:4:11 @ "Harlotry, wine, and new wine enslave the heart.
nkjv@Hosea:4:12 @ My people ask counsel from their wooden idols, And their staff informs them. For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to stray, And they have played the harlot against their God.
nkjv@Hosea:4:13 @ They offer sacrifices on the mountaintops, And burn incense on the hills, Under oaks, poplars, and terebinths, Because their shade is good. Therefore your daughters commit harlotry, And your brides commit adultery.
nkjv@Hosea:4:14 @ "I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry, Nor your brides when they commit adultery; For the men themselves go apart with harlots, And offer sacrifices with a ritual harlot. Therefore people who do not understand will be trampled.
nkjv@Hosea:4:15 @ "Though you, Israel, play the harlot, Let not Judah offend. Do not come up to Gilgal, Nor go up to Beth Aven, Nor swear an oath, saying, "As the LORD lives'--
nkjv@Hosea:4:16 @ "For Israel is stubborn Like a stubborn calf; Now the LORD will let them forage Like a lamb in open country.
nkjv@Hosea:5:1 @ "Hear this, O priests! Take heed, O house of Israel! Give ear, O house of the king! For yours is the judgment, Because you have been a snare to Mizpah And a net spread on Tabor.
nkjv@Hosea:5:3 @ I know Ephraim, And Israel is not hidden from Me; For now, O Ephraim, you commit harlotry; Israel is defiled.
nkjv@Hosea:5:7 @ They have dealt treacherously with the LORD, For they have begotten pagan children. Now a New Moon shall devour them and their heritage.
nkjv@Hosea:5:8 @ "Blow the ram's horn in Gibeah, The trumpet in Ramah! Cry aloud at Beth Aven, "Look behind you, O Benjamin!'
nkjv@Hosea:5:11 @ Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, Because he willingly walked by human precept.
nkjv@Hosea:5:12 @ Therefore I will be to Ephraim like a moth, And to the house of Judah like rottenness.
nkjv@Hosea:5:13 @ "When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah saw his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria And sent to King Jareb; Yet he cannot cure you, Nor heal you of your wound.
nkjv@Hosea:5:14 @ For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, And like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them and go away; I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.
nkjv@Hosea:5:15 @ I will return again to My place Till they acknowledge their offense. Then they will seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me."
nkjv@Hosea:6:1 @ Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up.
nkjv@Hosea:6:5 @ Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of My mouth; And your judgments are like light that goes forth.
nkjv@Hosea:6:7 @ "But like men they transgressed the covenant; There they dealt treacherously with Me.
nkjv@Hosea:6:10 @ I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: There is the harlotry of Ephraim; Israel is defiled.
nkjv@Hosea:6:11 @ Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed for you, When I return the captives of My people.
nkjv@Hosea:7:1 @ "When I would have healed Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, And the wickedness of Samaria. For they have committed fraud; A thief comes in; A band of robbers takes spoil outside.
nkjv@Hosea:7:4 @ "They are all adulterers. Like an oven heated by a baker-- He ceases stirring the fire after kneading the dough, Until it is leavened.
nkjv@Hosea:7:6 @ They prepare their heart like an oven, While they lie in wait; Their baker sleeps all night; In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.
nkjv@Hosea:7:7 @ They are all hot, like an oven, And have devoured their judges; All their kings have fallen. None among them calls upon Me.
nkjv@Hosea:7:9 @ Aliens have devoured his strength, But he does not know it; Yes, gray hairs are here and there on him, Yet he does not know it.
nkjv@Hosea:7:11 @ "Ephraim also is like a silly dove, without sense-- They call to Egypt, They go to Assyria.
nkjv@Hosea:7:13 @ "Woe to them, for they have fled from Me! Destruction to them, Because they have transgressed against Me! Though I redeemed them, Yet they have spoken lies against Me.
nkjv@Hosea:7:14 @ They did not cry out to Me with their heart When they wailed upon their beds. "They assemble together for grain and new wine, They rebel against Me;
nkjv@Hosea:7:15 @ Though I disciplined and strengthened their arms, Yet they devise evil against Me;
nkjv@Hosea:8:1 @ "Set the trumpet to your mouth! He shall come like an eagle against the house of the LORD, Because they have transgressed My covenant And rebelled against My law.
nkjv@Hosea:8:3 @ Israel has rejected the good; The enemy will pursue him.
nkjv@Hosea:8:5 @ Your calf is rejected, O Samaria! My anger is aroused against them-- How long until they attain to innocence?
nkjv@Hosea:8:6 @ For from Israel is even this: A workman made it, and it is not God; But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.
nkjv@Hosea:8:7 @ "They sow the wind, And reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no bud; It shall never produce meal. If it should produce, Aliens would swallow it up.
nkjv@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up; Now they are among the Gentiles Like a vessel in which is no pleasure.
nkjv@Hosea:8:10 @ Yes, though they have hired among the nations, Now I will gather them; And they shall sorrow a little, Because of the burden of the king of princes.
nkjv@Hosea:8:12 @ I have written for him the great things of My law, But they were considered a strange thing.
nkjv@Hosea:8:14 @ "For Israel has forgotten his Maker, And has built temples; Judah also has multiplied fortified cities; But I will send fire upon his cities, And it shall devour his palaces."
nkjv@Hosea:9:6 @ For indeed they are gone because of destruction. Egypt shall gather them up; Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess their valuables of silver; Thorns shall be in their tents.
nkjv@Hosea:9:7 @ The days of punishment have come; The days of recompense have come. Israel knows! The prophet is a fool, The spiritual man is insane, Because of the greatness of your iniquity and great enmity.
nkjv@Hosea:9:8 @ The watchman of Ephraim is with my God; But the prophet is a fowler's snare in all his ways-- Enmity in the house of his God.
nkjv@Hosea:9:10 @ "I found Israel Like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers As the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal Peor, And separated themselves to that shame; They became an abomination like the thing they loved.
nkjv@Hosea:9:12 @ Though they bring up their children, Yet I will bereave them to the last man. Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!
nkjv@Hosea:9:13 @ Just as I saw Ephraim like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place, So Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer."
nkjv@Hosea:9:16 @ Ephraim is stricken, Their root is dried up; They shall bear no fruit. Yes, were they to bear children, I would kill the darlings of their womb."
nkjv@Hosea:10:4 @ They have spoken words, Swearing falsely in making a covenant. Thus judgment springs up like hemlock in the furrows of the field.
nkjv@Hosea:10:5 @ The inhabitants of Samaria fear Because of the calf of Beth Aven. For its people mourn for it, And its priests shriek for it-- Because its glory has departed from it.
nkjv@Hosea:10:6 @ The idol also shall be carried to Assyria As a present for King Jareb. Ephraim shall receive shame, And Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
nkjv@Hosea:10:8 @ Also the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, Shall be destroyed. The thorn and thistle shall grow on their altars; They shall say to the mountains, "Cover us!" And to the hills, "Fall on us!"
nkjv@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.
nkjv@Hosea:10:10 @ When it is My desire, I will chasten them. Peoples shall be gathered against them When I bind them for their two transgressions.
nkjv@Hosea:10:13 @ You have plowed wickedness; You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, Because you trusted in your own way, In the multitude of your mighty men.
nkjv@Hosea:10:14 @ Therefore tumult shall arise among your people, And all your fortresses shall be plundered As Shalman plundered Beth Arbel in the day of battle-- A mother dashed in pieces upon her children.
nkjv@Hosea:11:1 @ "When Israel was a child, I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son.
nkjv@Hosea:11:2 @ As they called them, So they went from them; They sacrificed to the Baals, And burned incense to carved images.
nkjv@Hosea:11:4 @ I drew them with gentle cords, With bands of love, And I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck. I stooped and fed them.
nkjv@Hosea:11:5 @ "He shall not return to the land of Egypt; But the Assyrian shall be his king, Because they refused to repent.
nkjv@Hosea:11:7 @ My people are bent on backsliding from Me. Though they call to the Most High, None at all exalt Him.
nkjv@Hosea:11:9 @ I will not execute the fierceness of My anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, The Holy One in your midst; And I will not come with terror.
nkjv@Hosea:11:10 @ "They shall walk after the LORD. He will roar like a lion. When He roars, Then His sons shall come trembling from the west;
nkjv@Hosea:11:12 @ "Ephraim has encircled Me with lies, And the house of Israel with deceit; But Judah still walks with God, Even with the Holy One who is faithful.
nkjv@Hosea:12:1 @ "Ephraim feeds on the wind, And pursues the east wind; He daily increases lies and desolation. Also they make a covenant with the Assyrians, And oil is carried to Egypt.
nkjv@Hosea:12:2 @ "The LORD also brings a charge against Judah, And will punish Jacob according to his ways; According to his deeds He will recompense him.
nkjv@Hosea:12:3 @ He took his brother by the heel in the womb, And in his strength he struggled with God.
nkjv@Hosea:12:9 @ "But I am the LORD your God, Ever since the land of Egypt; I will again make you dwell in tents, As in the days of the appointed feast.
nkjv@Hosea:12:10 @ I have also spoken by the prophets, And have multiplied visions; I have given symbols through the witness of the prophets."
nkjv@Hosea:12:12 @ Jacob fled to the country of Syria; Israel served for a spouse, And for a wife he tended sheep.
nkjv@Hosea:13:1 @ When Ephraim spoke, trembling, He exalted himself in Israel; But when he offended through Baal worship, he died.
nkjv@Hosea:13:2 @ Now they sin more and more, And have made for themselves molded images, Idols of their silver, according to their skill; All of it is the work of craftsmen. They say of them, "Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!"
nkjv@Hosea:13:6 @ When they had pasture, they were filled; They were filled and their heart was exalted; Therefore they forgot Me.
nkjv@Hosea:13:8 @ I will meet them like a bear deprived of her cubs; I will tear open their rib cage, And there I will devour them like a lion. The wild beast shall tear them.
nkjv@Hosea:13:13 @ The sorrows of a woman in childbirth shall come upon him. He is an unwise son, For he should not stay long where children are born.
nkjv@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! Pity is hidden from My eyes."
nkjv@Hosea:13:15 @ Though he is fruitful among his brethren, An east wind shall come; The wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness. Then his spring shall become dry, And his fountain shall be dried up. He shall plunder the treasury of every desirable prize.
nkjv@Hosea:13:16 @ Samaria is held guilty, For she has rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword, Their infants shall be dashed in pieces, And their women with child ripped open.
nkjv@Hosea:14:5 @ I will be like the dew to Israel; He shall grow like the lily, And lengthen his roots like Lebanon.
nkjv@Hosea:14:7 @ Those who dwell under his shadow shall return; They shall be revived like grain, And grow like a vine. Their scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
nkjv@Hosea:14:8 @ "Ephraim shall say, "What have I to do anymore with idols?' I have heard and observed him. I am like a green cypress tree; Your fruit is found in Me."
nkjv@Hosea:14:9 @ Who is wise? Let him understand these things. Who is prudent? Let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right; The righteous walk in them, But transgressors stumble in them.
nkjv@Joel:1:2 @ Hear this, you elders, And give ear, all you inhabitants of the land! Has anything like this happened in your days, Or even in the days of your fathers?

nkjv@Joel:1:8 @ Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth For the husband of her youth.
nkjv@Joel:1:9 @ The grain offering and the drink offering Have been cut off from the house of the LORD; The priests mourn, who minister to the LORD.
nkjv@Joel:1:12 @ The vine has dried up, And the fig tree has withered; The pomegranate tree, The palm tree also, And the apple tree-- All the trees of the field are withered; Surely joy has withered away from the sons of men.
nkjv@Joel:1:13 @ Gird yourselves and lament, you priests; Wail, you who minister before the altar; Come, lie all night in sackcloth, You who minister to my God; For the grain offering and the drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God.
nkjv@Joel:1:17 @ The seed shrivels under the clods, Storehouses are in shambles; Barns are broken down, For the grain has withered.
nkjv@Joel:1:18 @ How the animals groan! The herds of cattle are restless, Because they have no pasture; Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment.
nkjv@Joel:1:19 @ O LORD, to You I cry out; For fire has devoured the open pastures, And a flame has burned all the trees of the field.
nkjv@Joel:1:20 @ The beasts of the field also cry out to You, For the water brooks are dried up, And fire has devoured the open pastures.
nkjv@Joel:2:2 @ A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, The like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them, Even for many successive generations.
nkjv@Joel:2:3 @ A fire devours before them, And behind them a flame burns; The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, And behind them a desolate wilderness; Surely nothing shall escape them.
nkjv@Joel:2:7 @ They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like men of war; Every one marches in formation, And they do not break ranks.
nkjv@Joel:2:8 @ They do not push one another; Every one marches in his own column. Though they lunge between the weapons, They are not cut down.
nkjv@Joel:2:9 @ They run to and fro in the city, They run on the wall; They climb into the houses, They enter at the windows like a thief.
nkjv@Joel:2:10 @ The earth quakes before them, The heavens tremble; The sun and moon grow dark, And the stars diminish their brightness.
nkjv@Joel:2:11 @ The LORD gives voice before His army, For His camp is very great; For strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; Who can endure it?
nkjv@Joel:2:13 @ So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm.
nkjv@Joel:2:14 @ Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him-- A grain offering and a drink offering For the LORD your God?
nkjv@Joel:2:16 @ Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room.
nkjv@Joel:2:17 @ Let the priests, who minister to the LORD, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, "Spare Your people, O LORD, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, "Where is their God?"'
nkjv@Joel:2:18 @ Then the LORD will be zealous for His land, And pity His people.
nkjv@Joel:2:19 @ The LORD will answer and say to His people, "Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations.
nkjv@Joel:2:20 @ "But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things."
nkjv@Joel:2:22 @ Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
nkjv@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 faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you-- The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month.

nkjv@Joel:3:3 @ They have cast lots for My people, Have given a boy as payment for a harlot, And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
nkjv@Joel:3:5 @ Because you have taken My silver and My gold, And have carried into your temples My prized possessions.
nkjv@Joel:3:8 @ I will sell your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the people of Judah, And they will sell them to the Sabeans, To a people far off; For the LORD has spoken."

nkjv@Amos:2:14 @ Therefore flight shall perish from the swift, The strong shall not strengthen his power, Nor shall the mighty deliver himself;

nkjv@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:
nkjv@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 has caught nothing?
nkjv@Amos:3:8 @ A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken! Who can but prophesy?
nkjv@Amos:3:10 @ For they do not know to do right,' Says the LORD, "Who store up violence and robbery in their palaces."'
nkjv@Amos:3:11 @ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "An adversary shall be all around the land; He shall sap your strength from you, And your palaces shall be plundered."
nkjv@Amos:3:12 @ Thus says the LORD: "As a shepherd takes from the mouth of a lion Two legs or a piece of an ear, So shall the children of Israel be taken out Who dwell in Samaria-- In the corner of a bed and on the edge of a couch!
nkjv@Amos:3:15 @ I will destroy the winter house along with the summer house; The houses of ivory shall perish, And the great houses shall have an end," Says the LORD.
nkjv@Amos:4:2 @ The Lord GOD has sworn by His holiness: "Behold, the days shall come upon you When He will take you away with fishhooks, And your posterity with fishhooks.
nkjv@Amos:4:3 @ You will go out through broken walls, Each one straight ahead of her, And you will be cast into Harmon," Says the LORD.

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

nkjv@Amos:5:1 @ Hear this word which I take up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel:
nkjv@Amos:5:2 @ The virgin of Israel has fallen; She will rise no more. She lies forsaken on her land; There is no one to raise her up.
nkjv@Amos:5:3 @ For thus says the Lord GOD: "The city that goes out by a thousand Shall have a hundred left, And that which goes out by a hundred Shall have ten left to the house of Israel."
nkjv@Amos:5:5 @ But do not seek Bethel, Nor enter Gilgal, Nor pass over to Beersheba; For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, And Bethel shall come to nothing.
nkjv@Amos:5:6 @ Seek the LORD and live, Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, And devour it, With no one to quench it in Bethel--
nkjv@Amos:5:13 @ Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time, For it is an evil time.
nkjv@Amos:5:14 @ Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the LORD God of hosts will be with you, As you have spoken.
nkjv@Amos:5:16 @ Therefore the LORD God of hosts, the Lord, says this: "There shall be wailing in all streets, And they shall say in all the highways, "Alas! Alas!' They shall call the farmer to mourning, And skillful lamenters to wailing.
nkjv@Amos:5:19 @ It will be as though a man fled from a lion, And a bear met him! Or as though he went into the house, Leaned his hand on the wall, And a serpent bit him!
nkjv@Amos:5:22 @ Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.
nkjv@Amos:5:23 @ Take away from Me the noise of your songs, For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.
nkjv@Amos:5:27 @ Therefore I will send you into captivity beyond Damascus," Says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
nkjv@Amos:6:2 @ Go over to Calneh and see; And from there go to Hamath the great; Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Or is their territory greater than your territory?
nkjv@Amos:6:3 @ Woe to you who put far off the day of doom, Who cause the seat of violence to come near;
nkjv@Amos:6:5 @ Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments, And invent for yourselves musical instruments like David;
nkjv@Amos:6:6 @ Who drink wine from bowls, And anoint yourselves with the best ointments, But are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
nkjv@Amos:6:9 @ Then it shall come to pass, that if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.
nkjv@Amos:6:10 @ And when a relative of the dead, with one who will burn the bodies, picks up the bodies to take them out of the house, he will say to one inside the house, "Are there any more with you?"

nkjv@Amos:6:12 @ Do horses run on rocks? Does one plow there with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into gall, And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
nkjv@Amos:6:13 @ You who rejoice over Lo Debar, Who say, "Have we not taken Karnaim for ourselves By our own strength?"
nkjv@Amos:6:14 @ "But, behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel," Says the LORD God of hosts; "And they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath To the Valley of the Arabah."
nkjv@Amos:7:2 @ And so it was, when they had finished eating the grass of the land, that I said: "O Lord GOD, forgive, I pray! Oh, that Jacob may stand, For he is small!"
nkjv@Amos:7:3 @ So the LORD relented concerning this. "It shall not be," said the LORD.
nkjv@Amos:7:5 @ Then I said: "O Lord GOD, cease, I pray! Oh, that Jacob may stand, For he is small!"
nkjv@Amos:7:6 @ So the LORD relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," said the Lord GOD.
nkjv@Amos:7:8 @ And the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said: "Behold, I am setting a plumb line In the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore.
nkjv@Amos:7:10 @ Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
nkjv@Amos:7:12 @ Then Amaziah said to Amos: "Go, you seer! Flee to the land of Judah. There eat bread, And there prophesy.
nkjv@Amos:7:13 @ But never again prophesy at Bethel, For it is the king's sanctuary, And it is the royal residence."

nkjv@Amos:8:2 @ And He said, "Amos, what do you see?" So I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me: "The end has come upon My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore.
nkjv@Amos:8:3 @ And the songs of the temple Shall be wailing in that day," Says the Lord GOD-- "Many dead bodies everywhere, They shall be thrown out in silence."
nkjv@Amos:8:5 @ Saying: "When will the New Moon be past, That we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, That we may trade wheat? Making the ephah small and the shekel large, Falsifying the scales by deceit,
nkjv@Amos:8:6 @ That we may buy the poor for silver, And the needy for a pair of sandals-- Even sell the bad wheat?"
nkjv@Amos:8:9 @ "And it shall come to pass in that day," says the Lord GOD, "That I will make the sun go down at noon, And I will darken the earth in broad daylight;
