rsv@Micah:5:6 @ they shall rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword; and they shall deliver us from the Assyrian when he comes into our land and treads within our border.
rsv@Micah:6:4 @ For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and redeemed you from the house of bondage; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
rsv@Micah:6:7 @ Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?"
rsv@Micah:6:8 @ He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
rsv@Micah:6:10 @ Can I forget the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is accursed?
rsv@Micah:6:13 @ Therefore I have begun to smite you, making you desolate because of your sins.
rsv@Micah:6:16 @ For you have kept the statutes of Omri, and all the works of the house of Ahab; and you have walked in their counsels; that I may make you a desolation, and your inhabitants a hissing; so you shall bear the scorn of the peoples."
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:7:3 @ Their hands are upon what is evil, to do it diligently; the prince and the judge ask for a bribe, and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul; thus they weave it together.
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:7:6 @ for the son treats the father with contempt, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
rsv@Micah:7:9 @ I will bear the indignation of the LORD because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my cause and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light; I shall behold his deliverance.
rsv@Micah:7:13 @ But the earth will be desolate because of its inhabitants, for the fruit of their doings.
rsv@Micah:7:15 @ As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt I will show them marvelous things.
rsv@Micah:7:17 @ they shall lick the dust like a serpent, like the crawling things of the earth; they shall come trembling out of their strongholds, they shall turn in dread to the LORD our God, and they shall fear because of thee.
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@Micah:7:19 @ He will again have compassion upon us, he will tread our iniquities under foot. Thou wilt cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
rsv@Nahum:1:2 @ The LORD is a jealous God and avenging, the LORD is avenging and wrathful; the LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries and keeps wrath for his enemies.
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:1:12 @ 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:1:14 @ 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:2:3 @ The shield of his mighty men is red, his soldiers are clothed in scarlet. The chariots flash like flame when mustered in array; the chargers prance.
rsv@Nahum:2:4 @ The chariots rage in the streets, they rush to and fro through the squares; they gleam like torches, they dart like lightning.
rsv@Nahum:2:9 @ Plunder the silver, plunder the gold! There is no end of treasure, or wealth of every precious thing.
rsv@Nahum:3:15 @ There will the fire devour you, the sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the locust. Multiply yourselves like the locust, multiply like the grasshopper!
rsv@Nahum:3:16 @ You increased your merchants more than the stars of the heavens. The locust spreads its wings and flies away.
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:3:19 @ 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:1:4 @ So the law is slacked and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous, so justice goes forth perverted.
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:1:7 @ Dread and terrible are they; their justice and dignity proceed from themselves.
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: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:2:8 @ Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you, for the blood of men and violence to the earth, to cities and all who dwell therein.
rsv@Habakkuk:2:9 @ Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house, to set his nest on high, to be safe from the reach of harm!
rsv@Habakkuk:2:10 @ You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples; you have forfeited your life.
rsv@Habakkuk:2:18 @ What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it, a metal image, a teacher of lies? For the workman trusts in his own creation when he makes dumb idols!
rsv@Habakkuk:3:7 @ I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; the curtains of the land of Mid'ian did tremble.
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:3:16 @ I hear, and my body trembles, my lips quiver at the sound; rottenness enters into my bones, my steps totter beneath me. I will quietly wait for the day of trouble to come upon people who invade us.
rsv@Zephaniah:1:1 @ The word of the LORD which came to Zephani'ah the son of Cushi, son of Gedali'ah, son of Amari'ah, son of Hezeki'ah, in the days of Josi'ah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
rsv@Zephaniah:1:4 @ "I will stretch out my hand against Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off from this place the remnant of Ba'al and the name of the idolatrous priests;

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:2:3 @ Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who do his commands; seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the wrath of the LORD.
rsv@Zephaniah:2:7 @ The seacoast shall become the possession of the remnant of the house of Judah, on which they shall pasture, and in the houses of Ash'kelon they shall lie down at evening. For the LORD their God will be mindful of them and restore their fortunes.
rsv@Zephaniah:2:10 @ This shall be their lot in return for their pride, because they scoffed and boasted against the people of the LORD of hosts.
rsv@Zephaniah:3:1 @ Woe to her that is rebellious and defiled, the oppressing city!
rsv@Zephaniah:3:2 @ She listens to no voice, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the LORD, she does not draw near to her God.
