rsv@Hosea:1:7 @ But I will have pity on the house of Judah, and I will deliver them by the LORD their God; I will not deliver them by bow, nor by sword, nor by war, nor by horses, nor by horsemen."
rsv@Hosea:1:8 @ When she had weaned Not pitied, she conceived and bore a son.
rsv@Hosea:1:9 @ And the LORD said, "Call his name Not my people, for you are not my people and I am not your God."
rsv@Hosea:1:10 @ Yet the number of the people of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which can be neither measured nor numbered; and in the place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," it shall be said to them, "Sons of the living God."
rsv@Hosea:2:2 @ "Plead with your mother, plead-- for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband--that she put away her harlotry from her face, and her adultery from between her breasts;
rsv@Hosea:2:4 @ Upon her children also I will have no pity, because they are children of harlotry.
rsv@Hosea:2:6 @ Therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns; and I will build a wall against her, so that she cannot find her paths.
rsv@Hosea:2:7 @ She shall pursue her lovers, but not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them. Then she shall say, `I will go and return to my first husband, for it was better with me then than now.'
rsv@Hosea:2:8 @ And she did not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the wine, and the oil, and who lavished upon her silver and gold which they used for Ba'al.
rsv@Hosea:2:10 @ Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.
rsv@Hosea:2:16 @ "And in that day, says the LORD, you will call me, `My husband,' and no longer will you call me, `My Ba'al.'
rsv@Hosea:2:17 @ For I will remove the names of the Ba'als from her mouth, and they shall be mentioned by name no more.
rsv@Hosea:2:20 @ I will betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD.
rsv@Hosea:2:23 @ and I will sow him for myself in the land. And I will have pity on Not pitied, and I will say to Not my people, `You are my people'; and he shall say `Thou art my God.'"
rsv@Hosea:3:3 @ And I said to her, "You must dwell as mine for many days; you shall not play the harlot, or belong to another man; so will I also be to you."
rsv@Hosea:4:1 @ Hear the word of the LORD, O people of Israel; for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or kindness, and no knowledge of God in the land;
rsv@Hosea:4:4 @ Yet let no one contend, and let none accuse, for with you is my contention, O priest.
rsv@Hosea:4:6 @ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
rsv@Hosea:4:10 @ They shall eat, but not be satisfied; they shall play the harlot, but not multiply; because they have forsaken the LORD to cherish harlotry.
rsv@Hosea:4:14 @ I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go aside with harlots, and sacrifice with cult prostitutes, and a people without understanding shall come to ruin.
rsv@Hosea:4:15 @ Though you play the harlot, O Israel, let not Judah become guilty. Enter not into Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-a'ven, and swear not, "As the LORD lives."
rsv@Hosea:4:16 @ Like a stubborn heifer, Israel is stubborn; can the LORD now feed them like a lamb in a broad pasture?
rsv@Hosea:5:3 @ I know E'phraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, O E'phraim, you have played the harlot, Israel is defiled.
rsv@Hosea:5:4 @ Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. For the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not the LORD.
rsv@Hosea:5:6 @ With their flocks and herds they shall go to seek the LORD, but they will not find him; he has withdrawn from them.
rsv@Hosea:5:7 @ They have dealt faithlessly with the LORD; for they have borne alien children. Now the new moon shall devour them with their fields.
rsv@Hosea:5:13 @ When E'phraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, then E'phraim went to Assyria, and sent to the great king. But he is not able to cure you or heal your wound.
rsv@Hosea:5:14 @ For I will be like a lion to E'phraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will rend and go away, I will carry off, and none shall rescue.
rsv@Hosea:5:15 @ I will return again to my place, until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, and in their distress they seek me, saying,
rsv@Hosea:6:3 @ Let us know, let us press on to know the LORD; his going forth is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth."
rsv@Hosea:6:6 @ For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God, rather than burnt offerings.
rsv@Hosea:7:2 @ But they do not consider that I remember all their evil works. Now their deeds encompass them, they are before my face.
rsv@Hosea:7:7 @ All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings have fallen; and none of them calls upon me.
rsv@Hosea:7:8 @ E'phraim mixes himself with the peoples; E'phraim is a cake not turned.
rsv@Hosea:7:9 @ Aliens devour his strength, and he knows it not; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and he knows it not.
rsv@Hosea:7:10 @ The pride of Israel witnesses against him; yet they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him, for all this.
rsv@Hosea:7:14 @ They do not cry to me from the heart, but they wail upon their beds; for grain and wine they gash themselves, they rebel against me.
rsv@Hosea:8:2 @ To me they cry, My God, we Israel know thee.
rsv@Hosea:8:4 @ They made kings, but not through me. They set up princes, but without my knowledge. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.
rsv@Hosea:8:6 @ in Israel? A workman made it; it is not God. The calf of Sama'ria shall be broken to pieces.
rsv@Hosea:8:7 @ For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads, it shall yield no meal; if it were to yield, aliens would devour it.
rsv@Hosea:8:10 @ Though they hire allies among the nations, I will soon gather them up. And they shall cease for a little while from anointing king and princes.
rsv@Hosea:8:13 @ They love sacrifice; they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but the LORD has no delight in them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
rsv@Hosea:9:1 @ Rejoice not, O Israel! Exult not like the peoples; for you have played the harlot, forsaking your God. You have loved a harlot's hire upon all threshing floors.
rsv@Hosea:9:2 @ Threshing floor and winevat shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail them.
rsv@Hosea:9:3 @ They shall not remain in the land of the LORD; but E'phraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
rsv@Hosea:9:4 @ They shall not pour libations of wine to the LORD; and they shall not please him with their sacrifices. Their bread shall be like mourners' bread; all who eat of it shall be defiled; for their bread shall be for their hunger only; it shall not come to the house of the LORD.
rsv@Hosea:9:7 @ The days of punishment have come, the days of recompense have come; Israel shall know it. The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is mad, because of your great iniquity and great hatred.
rsv@Hosea:9:11 @ E'phraim's glory shall fly away like a bird--no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
rsv@Hosea:9:12 @ Even if they bring up children, I will bereave them till none is left. Woe to them when I depart from them!
rsv@Hosea:9:15 @ Every evil of theirs is in Gilgal; there I began to hate them. 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.
rsv@Hosea:9:16 @ E'phraim is stricken, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, I will slay their beloved children.
rsv@Hosea:9:17 @ My God will cast them off, because they have not hearkened to him; they shall be wanderers among the nations.
rsv@Hosea:10:2 @ Their heart is false; now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will break down their altars, and destroy their pillars.
rsv@Hosea:10:3 @ For now they will say: "We have no king, for we fear not the LORD, and a king, what could he do for us?"
rsv@Hosea:10:4 @ They utter mere words; with empty oaths they make covenants; so judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
rsv@Hosea:10:9 @ From the days of Gib'e-ah, you have sinned, O Israel; there they have continued. Shall not war overtake them in Gib'e-ah?
rsv@Hosea:11:3 @ Yet it was I who taught E'phraim to walk, I took them up in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them.
rsv@Hosea:11:7 @ My people are bent on turning away from me; so they are appointed to the yoke, and none shall remove it.
rsv@Hosea:11:9 @ I will not execute my fierce anger, I will not again destroy E'phraim; for I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come to destroy.
rsv@Hosea:11:12 @ E'phraim has encompassed me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah is still known by God, and is faithful to the Holy One.
rsv@Hosea:12:11 @ If there is iniquity in Gilead they shall surely come to nought; if in Gilgal they sacrifice bulls, their altars also shall be like stone heaps on the furrows of the field.
rsv@Hosea:13:2 @ And now they sin more and more, and make for themselves molten images, idols skilfully made of their silver, all of them the work of craftsmen. Sacrifice to these, they say. Men kiss calves!
rsv@Hosea:13:4 @ I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt; you know no God but me, and besides me there is no savior.
rsv@Hosea:13:10 @ Where now is your king, to save you; where are all your princes, to defend you--those of whom you said, "Give me a king and princes"?
rsv@Hosea:13:13 @ The pangs of childbirth come for him, but he is an unwise son; for now he does not present himself at the mouth of the womb.
rsv@Hosea:14:3 @ Assyria shall not save us, we will not ride upon horses; and we will say no more, `Our God,' to the work of our hands. In thee the orphan finds mercy."
rsv@Hosea:14:6 @ his shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like the olive, and his fragrance like Lebanon.
rsv@Hosea:14:7 @ They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow, they shall flourish as a garden; they shall blossom as the vine, their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
rsv@Hosea:14:9 @ Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the LORD are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.
rsv@Joel:1:3 @ Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
rsv@Joel:1:16 @ Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
rsv@Joel:1:18 @ How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed because there is no pasture for them; even the flocks of sheep are dismayed.
rsv@Joel:2:2 @ a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness there is spread upon the mountains a great and powerful people; their like has never been from of old, nor will be again after them through the years of all generations.
rsv@Joel:2:3 @ Fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them, but after them a desolate wilderness, and nothing escapes them.
rsv@Joel:2:7 @ Like warriors they charge, like soldiers they scale the wall. They march each on his way, they do not swerve from their paths.
rsv@Joel:2:8 @ They do not jostle one another, each marches in his path; they burst through the weapons and are not halted.
rsv@Joel:2:12 @ "Yet even now," says the LORD, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
rsv@Joel:2:13 @ and rend your hearts and not your garments." Return to the LORD, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and repents of evil.
rsv@Joel:2:14 @ Who knows whether he will not turn and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, a cereal offering and a drink offering for the LORD, your God?
rsv@Joel:2:17 @ Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep and say, "Spare thy people, O LORD, and make not thy heritage a reproach, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, `Where is their God?'"
rsv@Joel:2:19 @ The LORD answered and said to his people, "Behold, I am sending to you grain, wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
rsv@Joel:2:20 @ "I will remove the northerner far from you, and drive him into a parched and desolate land, his front into the eastern sea, and his rear into the western sea; the stench and foul smell of him will rise, for he has done great things.
rsv@Joel:2:21 @ "Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the LORD has done great things!
rsv@Joel:2:22 @ Fear not, you beasts of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness are green; the tree bears its fruit, the fig tree and vine give their full yield.
rsv@Joel:2:27 @ You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I, the LORD, am your God and there is none else. And my people shall never again be put to shame.
rsv@Joel:3:7 @ But now I will stir them up from the place to which you have sold them, and I will requite your deed upon your own head.
rsv@Joel:3:17 @ "So you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who dwell in Zion, my holy mountain. And Jerusalem shall be holy and strangers shall never again pass through it.
rsv@Joel:3:19 @ "Egypt shall become a desolation and Edom a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the people of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
rsv@Joel:3:21 @ I will avenge their blood, and I will not clear the guilty, for the LORD dwells in Zion."
rsv@Amos:1:3 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing sledges of iron.
rsv@Amos:1:6 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they carried into exile a whole people to deliver them up to Edom.
rsv@Amos:1:9 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they delivered up a whole people to Edom, and did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
rsv@Amos:1:11 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity, and his anger tore perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever.

rsv@Amos:3:4 @ Does a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out from his den, if he has taken nothing?
rsv@Amos:3:5 @ Does a bird fall in a snare on the earth, when there is no trap for it? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when it has taken nothing?
rsv@Amos:3:6 @ Is a trumpet blown in a city, and the people are not afraid? Does evil befall a city, unless the LORD has done it?
rsv@Amos:3:7 @ Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.
rsv@Amos:3:8 @ The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken; who can but prophesy?"
rsv@Amos:3:10 @ "They do not know how to do right," says the LORD, "those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds."

rsv@Amos:4:7 @ "And I also withheld the rain from you when there were yet three months to the harvest; I would send rain upon one city, and send no rain upon another city; one field would be rained upon, and the field on which it did not rain withered;

rsv@Micah:2:5 @ Therefore you will have none to cast the line by lot in the assembly of the LORD.
rsv@Micah:2:6 @ "Do not preach"--thus they preach--"one should not preach of such things; disgrace will not overtake us."
rsv@Micah:2:7 @ Should this be said, O house of Jacob? Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly?
rsv@Micah:2:8 @ But you rise against my people as an enemy; you strip the robe from the peaceful, from those who pass by trustingly with no thought of war.
rsv@Micah:2:10 @ Arise and go, for this is no place to rest; because of uncleanness that destroys with a grievous destruction.
rsv@Micah:2:12 @ I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob, I will gather the remnant of Israel; I will set them together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in its pasture, a noisy multitude of men.
rsv@Micah:3:1 @ And I said: Hear, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel! Is it not for you to know justice?--
rsv@Micah:3:4 @ Then they will cry to the LORD, but he will not answer them; he will hide his face from them at that time, because they have made their deeds evil.
rsv@Micah:3:5 @ Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who lead my people astray, who cry "Peace" when they have something to eat, but declare war against him who puts nothing into their mouths.
rsv@Micah:3:7 @ the seers shall be disgraced, and the diviners put to shame; they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.
rsv@Micah:3:11 @ Its heads give judgment for a bribe, its priests teach for hire, its prophets divine for money; yet they lean upon the LORD and say, "Is not the LORD in the midst of us? No evil shall come upon us."
rsv@Micah:4:3 @ He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide for strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more;
rsv@Micah:4:4 @ but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken.
rsv@Micah:4:9 @ Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pangs have seized you like a woman in travail?
rsv@Micah:4:10 @ Writhe and groan, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you shall go forth from the city and dwell in the open country; you shall go to Babylon. There you shall be rescued, there the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
rsv@Micah:4:11 @ Now many nations are assembled against you, saying, "Let her be profaned, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion."
rsv@Micah:4:12 @ But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD, they do not understand his plan, that he has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor.
rsv@Micah:5:1 @ Now you are walled about with a wall; siege is laid against us; with a rod they strike upon the cheek the ruler of Israel.
rsv@Micah:5:4 @ And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth.
rsv@Micah:5:7 @ Then the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers upon the grass, which tarry not for men nor wait for the sons of men.
rsv@Micah:5:8 @ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep, which, when it goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
rsv@Micah:5:12 @ and I will cut off sorceries from your hand, and you shall have no more soothsayers;
rsv@Micah:5:13 @ and I will cut off your images and your pillars from among you, and you shall bow down no more to the work of your hands;
rsv@Micah:5:15 @ And in anger and wrath I will execute vengeance upon the nations that did not obey.
rsv@Micah:6:5 @ O my people, remember what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Be'or answered him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the saving acts of the LORD."
rsv@Micah:6:14 @ You shall eat, but not be satisfied, and there shall be hunger in your inward parts; you shall put away, but not save, and what you save I will give to the sword.
rsv@Micah:6:15 @ You shall sow, but not reap; you shall tread olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil; you shall tread grapes, but not drink wine.
rsv@Micah:7:1 @ Woe is me! For I have become as when the summer fruit has been gathered, as when the vintage has been gleaned: there is no cluster to eat, no first-ripe fig which my soul desires.
rsv@Micah:7:2 @ The godly man has perished from the earth, and there is none upright among men; they all lie in wait for blood, and each hunts his brother with a net.
rsv@Micah:7:4 @ The best of them is like a brier, the most upright of them a thorn hedge. The day of their watchmen, of their punishment, has come; now their confusion is at hand.
rsv@Micah:7:5 @ Put no trust in a neighbor, have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom;
rsv@Micah:7:8 @ Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me.
rsv@Micah:7:10 @ Then my enemy will see, and shame will cover her who said to me, "Where is the LORD your God?" My eyes will gloat over her; now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.
rsv@Micah:7:18 @ Who is a God like thee, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger for ever because he delights in steadfast love.
rsv@Nahum:1:3 @ The LORD is slow to anger and of great might, and the LORD will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
rsv@Nahum:1:4 @ He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, he dries up all the rivers; Bashan and Carmel wither, the bloom of Lebanon fades.
rsv@Nahum:1:7 @ The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.
rsv@Nahum:1:9 @ What do you plot against the LORD? He will make a full end; he will not take vengeance twice on his foes.
rsv@Nahum:1:11 @ Did one not come out from you, who plotted evil against the LORD, and counseled villainy?
rsv@Nahum:1:12 @ Thus says the LORD, "Though they be strong and many, they will be cut off and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
rsv@Nahum:1:13 @ And now I will break his yoke from off you and will burst your bonds asunder."
rsv@Nahum:1:14 @ The LORD has given commandment about you: "No more shall your name be perpetuated; from the house of your gods I will cut off the graven image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile."
rsv@Nahum:2:8 @ Nin'eveh is like a pool whose waters run away. "Halt! Halt!" they cry; but none turns back.
rsv@Nahum:2:9 @ Plunder the silver, plunder the gold! There is no end of treasure, or wealth of every precious thing.
rsv@Nahum:2:11 @ Where is the lions' den, the cave of the young lions, where the lion brought his prey, where his cubs were, with none to disturb?
rsv@Nahum:2:12 @ The lion tore enough for his whelps and strangled prey for his lionesses; he filled his caves with prey and his dens with torn flesh.
rsv@Nahum:2:13 @ Behold, I am against you, says the LORD of hosts, and I will burn your chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions; I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall no more be heard.
rsv@Nahum:3:1 @ Woe to the bloody city, all full of lies and booty--no end to the plunder!
rsv@Nahum:3:10 @ Yet she was carried away, she went into captivity; her little ones were dashed in pieces at the head of every street; for her honored men lots were cast, and all her great men were bound in chains.
rsv@Nahum:3:17 @ Your princes are like grasshoppers, your scribes like clouds of locusts settling on the fences in a day of cold--when the sun rises, they fly away; no one knows where they are.
rsv@Nahum:3:18 @ Your shepherds are asleep, O king of Assyria; your nobles slumber. Your people are scattered on the mountains with none to gather them.
rsv@Nahum:3:19 @ There is no assuaging your hurt, your wound is grievous. All who hear the news of you clap their hands over you. For upon whom has not come your unceasing evil?
rsv@Habakkuk:1:2 @ O LORD, how long shall I cry for help, and thou wilt not hear? Or cry to thee "Violence!" and thou wilt not save?
rsv@Habakkuk:1:5 @ Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told.
rsv@Habakkuk:1:6 @ For lo, I am rousing the Chalde'ans, that bitter and hasty nation, who march through the breadth of the earth, to seize habitations not their own.
rsv@Habakkuk:1:12 @ Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them as a judgment; and thou, O Rock, hast established them for chastisement.
rsv@Habakkuk:1:13 @ Thou who art of purer eyes than to behold evil and canst not look on wrong, why dost thou look on faithless men, and art silent when the wicked swallows up the man more righteous than he?
rsv@Habakkuk:1:14 @ For thou makest men like the fish of the sea, like crawling things that have no ruler.
rsv@Habakkuk:2:3 @ For still the vision awaits its time; it hastens to the end--it will not lie. If it seem slow, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay.
rsv@Habakkuk:2:4 @ Behold, he whose soul is not upright in him shall fail, but the righteous shall live by his faith.
rsv@Habakkuk:2:5 @ Moreover, wine is treacherous; the arrogant man shall not abide. His greed is as wide as Sheol; like death he has never enough. He gathers for himself all nations, and collects as his own all peoples."
rsv@Habakkuk:2:6 @ Shall not all these take up their taunt against him, in scoffing derision of him, and say, "Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own--for how long?--and loads himself with pledges!"
rsv@Habakkuk:2:7 @ Will not your debtors suddenly arise, and those awake who will make you tremble? Then you will be booty for them.
rsv@Habakkuk:2:13 @ Behold, is it not from the LORD of hosts that peoples labor only for fire, and nations weary themselves for nought?
rsv@Habakkuk:2:14 @ For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
rsv@Habakkuk:2:17 @ The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you; the destruction of the beasts will terrify you, for the blood of men and violence to the earth, to cities and all who dwell therein.
rsv@Habakkuk:2:19 @ Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake; to a dumb stone, Arise! Can this give revelation? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in it.
rsv@Habakkuk:3:2 @ O LORD, I have heard the report of thee, and thy work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years renew it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.
rsv@Habakkuk:3:13 @ Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, for the salvation of thy anointed. Thou didst crush the head of the wicked, laying him bare from thigh to neck. Selah
rsv@Habakkuk:3:17 @ Though the fig tree do not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls,
rsv@Zephaniah:1:6 @ those who have turned back from following the LORD, who do not seek the LORD or inquire of him."
rsv@Zephaniah:1:11 @ Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar! For all the traders are no more; all who weigh out silver are cut off.
rsv@Zephaniah:1:12 @ At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are thickening upon their lees, those who say in their hearts, `The LORD will not do good, nor will he do ill.'
rsv@Zephaniah:1:13 @ Their goods shall be plundered, and their houses laid waste. Though they build houses, they shall not inhabit them; though they plant vineyards, they shall not drink wine from them."
rsv@Zephaniah:1:18 @ Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the LORD. In the fire of his jealous wrath, all the earth shall be consumed; for a full, yea, sudden end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.
rsv@Zephaniah:2:4 @ For Gaza shall be deserted, and Ash'kelon shall become a desolation; Ashdod's people shall be driven out at noon, and Ekron shall be uprooted.
rsv@Zephaniah:2:5 @ Woe to you inhabitants of the seacoast, you nation of the Cher'ethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; and I will destroy you till no inhabitant is left.
rsv@Zephaniah:2:13 @ And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and he will make Nin'eveh a desolation, a dry waste like the desert.
rsv@Zephaniah:2:15 @ This is the exultant city that dwelt secure, that said to herself, "I am and there is none else." What a desolation she has become, a lair for wild beasts! Every one who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist.
