Hosea:1:1 @The word of the LORD which came to Hosea the son of Beeri, during the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
nasb@Hosea:1:3 @So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
nasb@Hosea:1:4 @And the LORD said to him, "Name him Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will punish the house of Jehu for the bloodshed of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
nasb@Hosea:1:6 @Then she conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. And the LORD said to him, "Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I would ever forgive them.
nasb@Hosea:1:7" @But I will have compassion on the house of Judah and deliver them by the LORD their God, and will not deliver them by bow, sword, battle, horses or horsemen."
nasb@Hosea:1:9 @And the LORD said, "Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people and I am not your God."
nasb@Hosea:1:10 @Yet the number of the sons of Israel Will be like the sand of the sea, Which cannot be measured or numbered; And in the place Where it is said to them, "You are not My people," It will be said to them, "You are the sons of the living God."
nasb@Hosea:2:5" @For their mother has played the harlot; She who conceived them has acted shamefully. For she said, ' I will go after my lovers, Who give me my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'
nasb@Hosea:2:7" @She will pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them; And she will seek them, but will not find them. Then she will say, ' I will go back to my first husband, For it was better for me then than now!'
nasb@Hosea:2:9" @Therefore, I will take back My grain at harvest time And My new wine in its season. I will also take away My wool and My flax Given to cover her nakedness.
nasb@Hosea:2:12" @I will destroy her vines and fig trees, Of which she said, 'These are my wages Which my lovers have given me.' And I will make them a forest, And the beasts of the field will devour them.
nasb@Hosea:2:13" @I will punish her for the days of the Baals When she used to offer sacrifices to them And adorn herself with her earrings and jewelry, And follow her lovers, so that she forgot Me," declares the LORD.
nasb@Hosea:2:15" @Then I will give her her vineyards from there, And the valley of Achor as a door of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her youth, As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
nasb@Hosea:2:16" @It will come about in that day," declares the LORD, "That you will call Me Ishi And will no longer call Me Baali.
nasb@Hosea:2:17" @For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, So that they will be mentioned by their names no more.
nasb@Hosea:2:19" @I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, In lovingkindness and in compassion,
nasb@Hosea:2:20 @And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know the LORD.
nasb@Hosea:2:21" @It will come about in that day that I will respond," declares the LORD. "I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth,
nasb@Hosea:3:1 @Then the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is loved by her husband, yet an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes."
nasb@Hosea:3:2 @So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a half of barley.
nasb@Hosea:3:3 @Then I said to her, "You shall stay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man; so I will also be toward you."
nasb@Hosea:3:5 @Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king; and they will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.
nasb@Hosea:4:7 @The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame.
nasb@Hosea:4:14 @I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot Or your brides when they commit adultery, For the men themselves go apart with harlots And offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes; So the people without understanding are ruined.
nasb@Hosea:4:15 @Though you, Israel, play the harlot, Do not let Judah become guilty; Also do not go to Gilgal, Or go up to Beth-aven And take the oath- "As the LORD lives!"
nasb@Hosea:4:18 @Their liquor gone, They play the harlot continually; Their rulers dearly love shame.
nasb@Hosea:4:19 @The wind wraps them in its wings, And they will be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
nasb@Hosea:5:1 @Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Listen, O house of the king! For the judgment applies to you, For you have been a snare at Mizpah And a net spread out on Tabor.
nasb@Hosea:5:3 @I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me; For now, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot, Israel has defiled itself.
nasb@Hosea:5:9 @Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.
nasb@Hosea:5:10 @The princes of Judah have become like those who move a boundary; On them I will pour out My wrath like water.
nasb@Hosea:5:11 @Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, Because he was determined to follow man's command.
nasb@Hosea:5:15 @I will go away and return to My place Until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.
nasb@Hosea:5:6" @ Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.
nasb@Hosea:5:3" @So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth."
nasb@Hosea:5:5 @Therefore I have hewn them in pieces by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth; And the judgments on you are like the light that goes forth.
nasb@Hosea:5:7 @But like Adam they have transgressed the covenant; There they have dealt treacherously against Me.
nasb@Hosea:5:9 @And as raiders wait for a man, So a band of priests murder on the way to Shechem; Surely they have committed crime.
nasb@Hosea:6:2 @And they do not consider in their hearts That I remember all their wickedness. Now their deeds are all around them; They are before My face.
nasb@Hosea:6:5 @On the day of our king, the princes became sick with the heat of wine; He stretched out his hand with scoffers,
nasb@Hosea:6:7 @All of them are hot like an oven, And they consume their rulers; All their kings have fallen. None of them calls on Me.
nasb@Hosea:6:8 @Ephraim mixes himself with the nations; Ephraim has become a cake not turned.
nasb@Hosea:6:11 @So Ephraim has become like a silly dove, without sense; They call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
nasb@Hosea:6:13 @Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction is theirs, for they have rebelled against Me! I would redeem them, but they speak lies against Me.
nasb@Hosea:6:14 @And they do not cry to Me from their heart When they wail on their beds; For the sake of grain and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn away from Me.
nasb@Hosea:6:15 @Although I trained and strengthened their arms, Yet they devise evil against Me.
nasb@Hosea:7:1 @Put the trumpet to your lips! Like an eagle the enemy comes against the house of the LORD, Because they have transgressed My covenant And rebelled against My law.
nasb@Hosea:7:2 @They cry out to Me, "My God, we of Israel know You!"
nasb@Hosea:7:4 @They have set up kings, but not by Me; They have appointed princes, but I did not know it. With their silver and gold they have made idols for themselves, That they might be cut off.
nasb@Hosea:7:11 @Since Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin, They have become altars of sinning for him.
nasb@Hosea:7:13 @As for My sacrificial gifts, They sacrifice the flesh and eat it, But the LORD has taken no delight in them. Now He will remember their iniquity, And punish them for their sins; They will return to Egypt.
nasb@Hosea:7:14 @For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; And Judah has multiplied fortified cities, But I will send a fire on its cities that it may consume its palatial dwellings.
nasb@Hosea:8:6 @For behold, they will go because of destruction; Egypt will gather them up, Memphis will bury them. Weeds will take over their treasures of silver; Thorns will be in their tents.
nasb@Hosea:8:7 @The days of punishment have come, The days of retribution have come; Let Israel know this! The prophet is a fool, The inspired man is demented, Because of the grossness of your iniquity, And because your hostility is so great.
nasb@Hosea:8:9 @They have gone deep in depravity As in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity, He will punish their sins.
nasb@Hosea:8:10 @I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season. But they came to Baal-peor and devoted themselves to shame, And they became as detestable as that which they loved.
nasb@Hosea:8:13 @Ephraim, as I have seen, Is planted in a pleasant meadow like Tyre; But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.
nasb@Hosea:8:15 @All their evil is at Gilgal; Indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are rebels.
nasb@Hosea:9:4 @They speak mere words, With worthless oaths they make covenants; And judgment sprouts like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
nasb@Hosea:9:6 @The thing itself will be carried to Assyria As tribute to King Jareb; Ephraim will be seized with shame And Israel will be ashamed of its own counsel.
nasb@Hosea:9:11 @Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh, But I will come over her fair neck with a yoke; I will harness Ephraim, Judah will plow, Jacob will harrow for himself.
nasb@Hosea:9:12 @Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the LORD Until He comes to rain righteousness on you.
nasb@Hosea:9:13 @You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped injustice, You have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your way, in your numerous warriors,
nasb@Hosea:10:4 @I led them with cords of a man, with bonds of love, And I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws; And I bent down and fed them.
nasb@Hosea:10:5 @They will not return to the land of Egypt; But Assyria--he will be their king Because they refused to return to Me.
nasb@Hosea:10:6 @The sword will whirl against their cities, And will demolish their gate bars And consume them because of their counsels.
nasb@Hosea:10:7 @So My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call them to the One on high, None at all exalts Him.
nasb@Hosea:10:8 @How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I surrender you, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned over within Me, All My compassions are kindled.
nasb@Hosea:10:9 @I will not execute My fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, And I will not come in wrath.
nasb@Hosea:10:10 @They will walk after the LORD, He will roar like a lion; Indeed He will roar And His sons will come trembling from the west.
nasb@Hosea:10:11 @They will come trembling like birds from Egypt And like doves from the land of Assyria; And I will settle them in their houses, declares the LORD.
nasb@Hosea:10:12 @Ephraim surrounds Me with lies And the house of Israel with deceit; Judah is also unruly against God, Even against the Holy One who is faithful.
nasb@Hosea:11:5 @Even the LORD, the God of hosts, The LORD is His name.
nasb@Hosea:11:7 @A merchant, in whose hands are false balances, He loves to oppress.
nasb@Hosea:11:8 @And Ephraim said, "Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself; In all my labors they will find in me No iniquity, which would be sin."
nasb@Hosea:11:10 @I have also spoken to the prophets, And I gave numerous visions, And through the prophets I gave parables.
nasb@Hosea:12:2 @And now they sin more and more, And make for themselves molten images, Idols skillfully made from their silver, All of them the work of craftsmen. They say of them, "Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!"
nasb@Hosea:12:4 @Yet I have been the LORD your God Since the land of Egypt; And you were not to know any god except Me, For there is no savior besides Me.
nasb@Hosea:12:6 @As they had their pasture, they became satisfied, And being satisfied, their heart became proud; Therefore they forgot Me.
nasb@Hosea:12:9 @It is your destruction, O Israel, That you are against Me, against your help.
nasb@Hosea:12:10 @Where now is your king That he may save you in all your cities, And your judges of whom you requested, "Give me a king and princes"?
nasb@Hosea:12:13 @The pains of childbirth come upon him; He is not a wise son, For it is not the time that he should delay at the opening of the womb.
nasb@Hosea:12:15 @Though he flourishes among the reeds, An east wind will come, The wind of the LORD coming up from the wilderness; And his fountain will become dry And his spring will be dried up; It will plunder his treasury of every precious article.
nasb@Hosea:12:16 @Samaria will be held guilty, For she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword, Their little ones will be dashed in pieces, And their pregnant women will be ripped open.
nasb@Hosea:13:3" @Assyria will not save us, We will not ride on horses; Nor will we say again, ' Our god,' To the work of our hands; For in You the orphan finds mercy."
nasb@Hosea:13:8 @O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like a luxuriant cypress; From Me comes your fruit.
nasb@Joel:1:1 @The word of the LORD that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel-
nasb@Joel:1:7 @It has made my vine a waste And my fig tree splinters. It has stripped them bare and cast them away; Their branches have become white.
nasb@Joel:1:11 @Be ashamed, O farmers, Wail, O vinedressers, For the wheat and the barley; Because the harvest of the field is destroyed.
nasb@Joel:1:12 @The vine dries up And the fig tree fails; The pomegranate, the palm also, and the apple tree, All the trees of the field dry up. Indeed, rejoicing dries up From the sons of men.
nasb@Joel:1:13 @Gird yourselves with sackcloth And lament, O priests; Wail, O ministers of the altar! Come, spend the night in sackcloth O ministers of my God, For the grain offering and the drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God.
nasb@Joel:1:15 @Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is near, And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
nasb@Joel:1:19 @To You, O LORD, I cry; For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness And the flame has burned up all the trees of the field.
nasb@Joel:2:3 @A fire consumes before them And behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them But a desolate wilderness behind them, And nothing at all escapes them.
nasb@Joel:2:5 @With a noise as of chariots They leap on the tops of the mountains, Like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble, Like a mighty people arranged for battle.
nasb@Joel:2:7 @They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like soldiers; And they each march in line, Nor do they deviate from their paths.
nasb@Joel:2:11 @The LORD utters His voice before His army; Surely His camp is very great, For strong is he who carries out His word. The day of the LORD is indeed great and very awesome, And who can endure it?
nasb@Joel:2:12" @Yet even now," declares the LORD, " Return to Me with all your heart, And with fasting, weeping and mourning;
nasb@Joel:2:13 @And rend your heart and not your garments." Now return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness And relenting of evil.
nasb@Joel:2:16 @Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and the nursing infants. Let the bridegroom come out of his room And the bride out of her bridal chamber.
nasb@Joel:2:20" @But I will remove the northern army far from you, And I will drive it into a parched and desolate land, And its vanguard into the eastern sea, And its rear guard into the western sea. And its stench will arise and its foul smell will come up, For it has done great things."
nasb@Joel:2:26" @You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied And praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; Then My people will never be put to shame.
nasb@Joel:2:27" @Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the LORD your God, And there is no other; And My people will never be put to shame.
nasb@Joel:2:28" @ It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions.
nasb@Joel:2:31" @The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.
nasb@Joel:2:32" @And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LORD Will be delivered; For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem There will be those who escape, As the LORD has said, Even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.
nasb@Joel:3:1" @For behold, in those days and at that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
nasb@Joel:3:2 @I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; And they have divided up My land.
nasb@Joel:3:4" @Moreover, what are you to Me, O Tyre, Sidon and all the regions of Philistia? Are you rendering Me a recompense? But if you do recompense Me, swiftly and speedily I will return your recompense on your head.
nasb@Joel:3:9 @Proclaim this among the nations- Prepare a war; rouse the mighty men! Let all the soldiers draw near, let them come up!
nasb@Joel:3:11 @Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, And gather yourselves there. Bring down, O LORD, Your mighty ones.
nasb@Joel:3:12 @Let the nations be aroused And come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I will sit to judge All the surrounding nations.
nasb@Joel:3:13 @Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the wine press is full; The vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.
nasb@Joel:3:19 @Egypt will become a waste, And Edom will become a desolate wilderness, Because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, In whose land they have shed innocent blood.
nasb@Amos:1:2 @He said, "The LORD roars from Zion And from Jerusalem He utters His voice; And the shepherds' pasture grounds mourn, And the summit of Carmel dries up."
nasb@Amos:1:3 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Damascus and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron.
nasb@Amos:1:4" @So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael And it will consume the citadels of Ben-hadad.
nasb@Amos:1:6 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Gaza and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they deported an entire population To deliver it up to Edom.
nasb@Amos:1:7" @So I will send fire upon the wall of Gaza And it will consume her citadels.
nasb@Amos:1:9 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Tyre and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they delivered up an entire population to Edom And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
nasb@Amos:1:10" @So I will send fire upon the wall of Tyre And it will consume her citadels."
nasb@Amos:1:11 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Edom and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because he pursued his brother with the sword, While he stifled his compassion; His anger also tore continually, And he maintained his fury forever.
nasb@Amos:1:12" @So I will send fire upon Teman And it will consume the citadels of Bozrah."
nasb@Amos:1:13 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead In order to enlarge their borders.
nasb@Amos:1:14" @So I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah And it will consume her citadels Amid war cries on the day of battle, And a storm on the day of tempest.
nasb@Amos:2:2 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Moab and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.
nasb@Amos:2:2" @So I will send fire upon Moab And it will consume the citadels of Kerioth; And Moab will die amid tumult, With war cries and the sound of a trumpet.
nasb@Amos:2:4 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Judah and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they rejected the law of the LORD And have not kept His statutes; Their lies also have led them astray, Those after which their fathers walked.
nasb@Amos:2:5" @So I will send fire upon Judah And it will consume the citadels of Jerusalem."
nasb@Amos:2:6 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Israel and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they sell the righteous for money And the needy for a pair of sandals.
nasb@Amos:2:7" @These who pant after the very dust of the earth on the head of the helpless Also turn aside the way of the humble; And a man and his father resort to the same girl In order to profane My holy name.
nasb@Amos:2:8" @On garments taken as pledges they stretch out beside every altar, And in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
nasb@Amos:2:11" @Then I raised up some of your sons to be prophets And some of your young men to be Nazirites. Is this not so, O sons of Israel?" declares the LORD.
nasb@Amos:2:3 @Do two men walk together unless they have made an appointment?
nasb@Amos:2:4 @Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl from his den unless he has captured something?
nasb@Amos:2:15" @I will also smite the winter house together with the summer house; The houses of ivory will also perish And the great houses will come to an end," Declares the LORD.
nasb@Amos:3:2 @The Lord GOD has sworn by His holiness, "Behold, the days are coming upon you When they will take you away with meat hooks, And the last of you with fish hooks.
nasb@Amos:3:6" @But I gave you also cleanness of teeth in all your cities And lack of bread in all your places, Yet you have not returned to Me," declares the LORD.
nasb@Amos:3:8" @So two or three cities would stagger to another city to drink water, But would not be satisfied; Yet you have not returned to Me," declares the LORD.
nasb@Amos:3:9" @I smote you with scorching wind and mildew; And the caterpillar was devouring Your many gardens and vineyards, fig trees and olive trees; Yet you have not returned to Me," declares the LORD.
nasb@Amos:3:10" @I sent a plague among you after the manner of Egypt; I slew your young men by the sword along with your captured horses, And I made the stench of your camp rise up in your nostrils; Yet you have not returned to Me," declares the LORD.
nasb@Amos:3:11" @I overthrew you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, And you were like a firebrand snatched from a blaze; Yet you have not returned to Me," declares the LORD.
nasb@Amos:3:12" @Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel; Because I will do this to you, Prepare to meet your God, O Israel."
nasb@Amos:3:13 @For behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind And declares to man what are His thoughts, He who makes dawn into darkness And treads on the high places of the earth, The LORD God of hosts is His name.
nasb@Amos:4:4 @For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel, " Seek Me that you may live.
nasb@Amos:4:5" @But do not resort to Bethel And do not come to Gilgal, Nor cross over to Beersheba; For Gilgal will certainly go into captivity And Bethel will come to trouble.
nasb@Amos:4:6" @ Seek the LORD that you may live, Or He will break forth like a fire, O house of Joseph, And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,
nasb@Amos:4:8 @He who made the Pleiades and Orion And changes deep darkness into morning, Who also darkens day into night, Who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the surface of the earth, The LORD is His name.
nasb@Amos:4:9 @It is He who flashes forth with destruction upon the strong, So that destruction comes upon the fortress.
nasb@Amos:4:13 @Therefore at such a time the prudent person keeps silent, for it is an evil time.
nasb@Amos:4:16 @Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, the Lord, "There is wailing in all the plazas, And in all the streets they say, 'Alas! Alas!' They also call the farmer to mourning And professional mourners to lamentation.
nasb@Amos:4:19 @As when a man flees from a lion And a bear meets him, Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall And a snake bites him.
nasb@Amos:4:22" @Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings.
nasb@Amos:4:23" @Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps.
nasb@Amos:4:25" @ Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel?
nasb@Amos:4:27" @Therefore, I will make you go into exile beyond Damascus," says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
nasb@Amos:5:1 @Woe to those who are at ease in Zion And to those who feel secure in the mountain of Samaria, The distinguished men of the foremost of nations, To whom the house of Israel comes.
nasb@Amos:5:9 @And it will be, if ten men are left in one house, they will die.
nasb@Amos:5:10 @Then one's uncle, or his undertaker, will lift him up to carry out his bones from the house, and he will say to the one who is in the innermost part of the house, "Is anyone else with you?" And that one will say, "No one." Then he will answer, " Keep quiet. For the name of the LORD is not to be mentioned."
nasb@Amos:5:11 @For behold, the LORD is going to command that the great house be smashed to pieces and the small house to fragments.
nasb@Amos:6:1 @Thus the Lord GOD showed me, and behold, He was forming a locust-swarm when the spring crop began to sprout. And behold, the spring crop was after the king's mowing.
nasb@Amos:6:2 @And it came about, when it had finished eating the vegetation of the land, that I said, " Lord GOD, please pardon! How can Jacob stand, For he is small?"
nasb@Amos:6:4 @Thus the Lord GOD showed me, and behold, the Lord GOD was calling to contend with them by fire, and it consumed the great deep and began to consume the farm land.
nasb@Amos:6:7 @Thus He showed me, and behold, the Lord was standing by a vertical wall with a plumb line in His hand.
nasb@Amos:6:8 @The LORD said to me, " What do you see, Amos?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Behold I am about to put a plumb line In the midst of My people Israel. I will spare them no longer.
nasb@Amos:6:15" @But the LORD took me from following the flock and the LORD said to me, 'Go prophesy to My people Israel.'
nasb@Amos:6:17" @Therefore, thus says the LORD, 'Your wife will become a harlot in the city, your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, your land will be parceled up by a measuring line and you yourself will die upon unclean soil. Moreover, Israel will certainly go from its land into exile.'"
nasb@Amos:7:1 @Thus the Lord GOD showed me, and behold, there was a basket of summer fruit.
nasb@Amos:7:2 @He said, "What do you see, Amos?" And I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me, "The end has come for My people Israel. I will spare them no longer.
nasb@Amos:7:9" @It will come about in that day," declares the Lord GOD, "That I will make the sun go down at noon And make the earth dark in broad daylight.
nasb@Amos:7:10" @Then I will turn your festivals into mourning And all your songs into lamentation; And I will bring sackcloth on everyone's loins And baldness on every head. And I will make it like a time of mourning for an only son, And the end of it will be like a bitter day.
nasb@Amos:7:13" @In that day the beautiful virgins And the young men will faint from thirst.
nasb@Amos:7:3" @Though they hide on the summit of Carmel, I will search them out and take them from there; And though they conceal themselves from My sight on the floor of the sea, From there I will command the serpent and it will bite them.
nasb@Amos:7:5 @The Lord GOD of hosts, The One who touches the land so that it melts, And all those who dwell in it mourn, And all of it rises up like the Nile And subsides like the Nile of Egypt;
nasb@Amos:7:6 @The One who builds His upper chambers in the heavens And has founded His vaulted dome over the earth, He who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the face of the earth, The LORD is His name.
nasb@Amos:7:7" @Are you not as the sons of Ethiopia to Me, O sons of Israel?" declares the LORD. "Have I not brought up Israel from the land of Egypt, And the Philistines from Caphtor and the Arameans from Kir?
nasb@Amos:7:12 @That they may possess the remnant of Edom And all the nations who are called by My name," Declares the LORD who does this.
nasb@Obadiah:0:3" @The arrogance of your heart has deceived you, You who live in the clefts of the rock, In the loftiness of your dwelling place, Who say in your heart, ' Who will bring me down to earth?'
nasb@Obadiah:0:5" @If thieves came to you, If robbers by night-- O how you will be ruined!-- Would they not steal only until they had enough? If grape gatherers came to you, Would they not leave some gleanings?
nasb@Obadiah:0:7" @All the men allied with you Will send you forth to the border, And the men at peace with you Will deceive you and overpower you. They who eat your bread Will set an ambush for you. (There is no understanding in him.)
nasb@Obadiah:0:8" @Will I not on that day," declares the LORD, " Destroy wise men from Edom And understanding from the mountain of Esau?
nasb@Obadiah:0:9" @Then your mighty men will be dismayed, O Teman, So that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
nasb@Obadiah:0:10" @Because of violence to your brother Jacob, You will be covered with shame, And you will be cut off forever.
nasb@Obadiah:0:16" @Because just as you drank on My holy mountain, All the nations will drink continually. They will drink and swallow And become as if they had never existed.
nasb@Obadiah:0:18" @Then the house of Jacob will be a fire And the house of Joseph a flame; But the house of Esau will be as stubble. And they will set them on fire and consume them, So that there will be no survivor of the house of Esau," For the LORD has spoken.
nasb@Jonah:0:1 @The word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai saying,
nasb@Jonah:0:2" @Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me."
nasb@Jonah:0:5 @Then the sailors became afraid and every man cried to his god, and they threw the cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone below into the hold of the ship, lain down and fallen sound asleep.
nasb@Jonah:0:7 @Each man said to his mate, "Come, let us cast lots so we may learn on whose account this calamity has struck us." So they cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.
nasb@Jonah:0:8 @Then they said to him, " Tell us, now! On whose account has this calamity struck us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?"
nasb@Jonah:0:10 @Then the men became extremely frightened and they said to him, "How could you do this?" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
nasb@Jonah:0:11 @So they said to him, "What should we do to you that the sea may become calm for us?"--for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy.
nasb@Jonah:0:12 @He said to them, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm for you, for I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you."
nasb@Jonah:0:13 @However, the men rowed desperately to return to land but they could not, for the sea was becoming even stormier against them.
nasb@Jonah:0:16 @Then the men feared the LORD greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.
nasb@Jonah:1:2 @and he said, "I called out of my distress to the LORD, And He answered me. I cried for help from the depth of Sheol; You heard my voice.
nasb@Jonah:1:3" @For You had cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the current engulfed me. All Your breakers and billows passed over me.
nasb@Jonah:1:5" @ Water encompassed me to the point of death. The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head.
nasb@Jonah:1:6" @I descended to the roots of the mountains. The earth with its bars was around me forever, But You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
nasb@Jonah:1:7" @While I was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, And my prayer came to You, Into Your holy temple.
nasb@Jonah:1:3 @Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,
nasb@Jonah:1:8" @But both man and beast must be covered with sackcloth; and let men call on God earnestly that each may turn from his wicked way and from the violence which is in his hands.
nasb@Jonah:2:1 @But it greatly displeased Jonah and he became angry.
nasb@Jonah:2:3" @Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for death is better to me than life."
nasb@Jonah:2:6 @So the LORD God appointed a plant and it grew up over Jonah to be a shade over his head to deliver him from his discomfort. And Jonah was extremely happy about the plant.
nasb@Jonah:2:7 @But God appointed a worm when dawn came the next day and it attacked the plant and it withered.
nasb@Jonah:2:8 @When the sun came up God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah's head so that he became faint and begged with all his soul to die, saying, " Death is better to me than life."
nasb@Jonah:2:10 @Then the LORD said, "You had compassion on the plant for which you did not work and which you did not cause to grow, which came up overnight and perished overnight.
nasb@Micah:1:1 @The word of the LORD which came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
nasb@Micah:1:3 @For behold, the LORD is coming forth from His place. He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
nasb@Micah:1:4 @The mountains will melt under Him And the valleys will be split, Like wax before the fire, Like water poured down a steep place.
nasb@Micah:1:8 @Because of this I must lament and wail, I must go barefoot and naked; I must make a lament like the jackals And a mourning like the ostriches.
nasb@Micah:1:9 @For her wound is incurable, For it has come to Judah; It has reached the gate of my people, Even to Jerusalem.
nasb@Micah:1:11 @Go on your way, inhabitant of Shaphir, in shameful nakedness. The inhabitant of Zaanan does not escape. The lamentation of Beth-ezel- "He will take from you its support."
nasb@Micah:1:12 @For the inhabitant of Maroth Becomes weak waiting for good, Because a calamity has come down from the LORD To the gate of Jerusalem.
nasb@Micah:1:14 @Therefore you will give parting gifts On behalf of Moresheth-gath; The houses of Achzib will become a deception To the kings of Israel.
nasb@Micah:2:1 @Woe to those who scheme iniquity, Who work out evil on their beds! When morning comes, they do it, For it is in the power of their hands.
nasb@Micah:2:3 @Therefore thus says the LORD, "Behold, I am planning against this family a calamity From which you cannot remove your necks; And you will not walk haughtily, For it will be an evil time.
nasb@Micah:2:4" @On that day they will take up against you a taunt And utter a bitter lamentation and say, 'We are completely destroyed! He exchanges the portion of my people; How He removes it from me! To the apostate He apportions our fields.'
nasb@Micah:2:5" @Therefore you will have no one stretching a measuring line For you by lot in the assembly of the LORD.
nasb@Micah:2:8" @Recently My people have arisen as an enemy-- You strip the robe off the garment From unsuspecting passers-by, From those returned from war.
nasb@Micah:2:9" @The women of My people you evict, Each one from her pleasant house. From her children you take My splendor forever.
nasb@Micah:2:12" @I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together like sheep in the fold; Like a flock in the midst of its pasture They will be noisy with men.
nasb@Micah:2:3 @Who eat the flesh of my people, Strip off their skin from them, Break their bones And chop them up as for the pot And as meat in a kettle."
nasb@Micah:2:4 @Then they will cry out to the LORD, But He will not answer them. Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time Because they have practiced evil deeds.
nasb@Micah:2:5 @Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; When they have something to bite with their teeth, They cry, "Peace," But against him who puts nothing in their mouths They declare holy war.
nasb@Micah:2:6 @Therefore it will be night for you--without vision, And darkness for you--without divination. The sun will go down on the prophets, And the day will become dark over them.
nasb@Micah:2:7 @The seers will be ashamed And the diviners will be embarrassed. Indeed, they will all cover their mouths Because there is no answer from God.
nasb@Micah:2:11 @Her leaders pronounce judgment for a bribe, Her priests instruct for a price And her prophets divine for money. Yet they lean on the LORD saying, " Is not the LORD in our midst? Calamity will not come upon us."
nasb@Micah:2:12 @Therefore, on account of you Zion will be plowed as a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins, And the mountain of the temple will become high places of a forest.
nasb@Micah:3:1 @And it will come about in the last days That the mountain of the house of the LORD Will be established as the chief of the mountains. It will be raised above the hills, And the peoples will stream to it.
nasb@Micah:3:2 @Many nations will come and say, " Come and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD And to the house of the God of Jacob, That He may teach us about His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For from Zion will go forth the law, Even the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
nasb@Micah:3:3 @And He will judge between many peoples And render decisions for mighty, distant nations. Then they will hammer their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they train for war.
nasb@Micah:3:5 @Though all the peoples walk Each in the name of his god, As for us, we will walk In the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
nasb@Micah:3:6" @In that day," declares the LORD, "I will assemble the lame And gather the outcasts, Even those whom I have afflicted.
nasb@Micah:3:7" @I will make the lame a remnant And the outcasts a strong nation, And the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion From now on and forever.
nasb@Micah:3:8" @As for you, tower of the flock, Hill of the daughter of Zion, To you it will come-- Even the former dominion will come, The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
nasb@Micah:3:2" @But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity."
nasb@Micah:3:3 @Therefore He will give them up until the time When she who is in labor has borne a child. Then the remainder of His brethren Will return to the sons of Israel.
nasb@Micah:3:4 @And He will arise and shepherd His flock In the strength of the LORD, In the majesty of the name of the LORD His God. And they will remain, Because at that time He will be great To the ends of the earth.
nasb@Micah:3:5 @This One will be our peace. When the Assyrian invades our land, When he tramples on our citadels, Then we will raise against him Seven shepherds and eight leaders of men.
nasb@Micah:3:7 @Then the remnant of Jacob Will be among many peoples Like dew from the LORD, Like showers on vegetation Which do not wait for man Or delay for the sons of men.
nasb@Micah:3:2" @Listen, you mountains, to the indictment of the LORD, And you enduring foundations of the earth, Because the LORD has a case against His people; Even with Israel He will dispute.
nasb@Micah:3:3" @ My people, what have I done to you, And how have I wearied you? Answer Me.
nasb@Micah:3:4" @Indeed, I brought you up from the land of Egypt And ransomed you from the house of slavery, And I sent before you Moses, Aaron and Miriam.
nasb@Micah:3:5" @My people, remember now What Balak king of Moab counseled And what Balaam son of Beor answered him, And from Shittim to Gilgal, So that you might know the righteous acts of the LORD."
nasb@Micah:3:6 @With what shall I come to the LORD And bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings, With yearling calves?
nasb@Micah:3:9 @The voice of the LORD will call to the city-- And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name- "Hear, O tribe. Who has appointed its time?
nasb@Micah:3:10" @Is there yet a man in the wicked house, Along with treasures of wickedness And a short measure that is cursed?
nasb@Micah:3:12" @For the rich men of the city are full of violence, Her residents speak lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
nasb@Micah:4:1 @Woe is me! For I am Like the fruit pickers, like the grape gatherers. There is not a cluster of grapes to eat, Or a first-ripe fig which I crave.
nasb@Micah:4:2 @The godly person has perished from the land, And there is no upright person among men. All of them lie in wait for bloodshed; Each of them hunts the other with a net.![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
