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:7:1 @ Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, He formed locust swarms at the beginning of the late crop; indeed it was the late crop after the king's mowings.
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:7:4 @ Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, the Lord GOD called for conflict by fire, and it consumed the great deep and devoured the territory.
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:7:7 @ Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand.
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:7:15 @ Then the LORD took me as I followed the flock, And the LORD said to me, "Go, prophesy to My people Israel.'
nkjv@Amos:7:16 @ Now therefore, hear the word of the LORD: You say, "Do not prophesy against Israel, And do not spout against the house of Isaac.'
nkjv@Amos:7:17 @ "Therefore thus says the LORD: "Your wife shall be a harlot in the city; Your sons and daughters shall fall by the sword; Your land shall be divided by survey line; You shall die in a defiled land; And Israel shall surely be led away captive From his own land."'
nkjv@Amos:8:1 @ Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, a basket of summer fruit.
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:8:7 @ The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob: "Surely I will never forget any of their works.
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;
nkjv@Amos:8:10 @ I will turn your feasts into mourning, And all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth on every waist, And baldness on every head; I will make it like mourning for an only son, And its end like a bitter day.
nkjv@Amos:8:11 @ "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord GOD, "That I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the LORD.
nkjv@Amos:8:12 @ They shall wander from sea to sea, And from north to east; They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the LORD, But shall not find it.
nkjv@Amos:9:1 @ I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and He said: "Strike the doorposts, that the thresholds may shake, And break them on the heads of them all. I will slay the last of them with the sword. He who flees from them shall not get away, And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered.
nkjv@Amos:9:5 @ The Lord GOD of hosts, He who touches the earth and it melts, And all who dwell there mourn; All of it shall swell like the River, And subside like the River of Egypt.
nkjv@Amos:9:6 @ He who builds His layers in the sky, And has founded His strata in the earth; Who calls for the waters of the sea, And pours them out on the face of the earth-- The LORD is His name.
nkjv@Amos:9:7 @ "Are you not like the people of Ethiopia to Me, O children of Israel?" says the LORD. "Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt, The Philistines from Caphtor, And the Syrians from Kir?

nkjv@Amos:9:13 @ "Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow with it.
nkjv@Amos:9:15 @ I will plant them in their land, And no longer shall they be pulled up From the land I have given them," Says the LORD your God.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:1 @ The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom (We have heard a report from the LORD, And a messenger has been sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle"):
nkjv@Obadiah:1:4 @ Though you ascend as high as the eagle, And though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down," says the LORD.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:8 @ "Will I not in that day," says the LORD, "Even destroy the wise men from Edom, And understanding from the mountains of Esau?
nkjv@Obadiah:1:11 @ In the day that you stood on the other side-- In the day that strangers carried captive his forces, When foreigners entered his gates And cast lots for Jerusalem-- Even you were as one of them.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:15 @ "For the day of the LORD upon all the nations is near; As you have done, it shall be done to you; Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:16 @ For as you drank on My holy mountain, So shall all the nations drink continually; Yes, they shall drink, and swallow, And they shall be as though they had never been.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:18 @ The house of Jacob shall be a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame; But the house of Esau shall be stubble; They shall kindle them and devour them, And no survivor shall remain of the house of Esau," For the LORD has spoken.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:19 @ The South shall possess the mountains of Esau, And the Lowland shall possess Philistia. They shall possess the fields of Ephraim And the fields of Samaria. Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:21 @ Then saviors shall come to Mount Zion To judge the mountains of Esau, And the kingdom shall be the LORD's.
nkjv@Jonah:1:1 @ Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
nkjv@Jonah:1:3 @ But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
nkjv@Jonah:1:4 @ But the LORD sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up.
nkjv@Jonah:1:5 @ Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep.
nkjv@Jonah:1:7 @ And they said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
nkjv@Jonah:1:9 @ So he said to them, "I am a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land."
nkjv@Jonah:1:10 @ Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "Why have you done this?" For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
nkjv@Jonah:1:14 @ Therefore they cried out to the LORD and said, "We pray, O LORD, please do not let us perish for this man's life, and do not charge us with innocent blood; for You, O LORD, have done as it pleased You."
nkjv@Jonah:1:16 @ Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the LORD and took vows.
nkjv@Jonah:1:17 @ Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
nkjv@Jonah:2:1 @ Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish's belly.
nkjv@Jonah:2:2 @ And he said: "I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, And He answered me. "Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And You heard my voice.
nkjv@Jonah:2:3 @ For You cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the floods surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
nkjv@Jonah:2:4 @ Then I said, "I have been cast out of Your sight; Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.'
nkjv@Jonah:2:5 @ The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; The deep closed around me; Weeds were wrapped around my head.
nkjv@Jonah:2:6 @ I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed behind me forever; Yet You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD, my God.
nkjv@Jonah:2:7 @ "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; And my prayer went up to You, Into Your holy temple.
nkjv@Jonah:2:9 @ But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD."
nkjv@Jonah:2:10 @ So the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
nkjv@Jonah:3:1 @ Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,
nkjv@Jonah:3:3 @ So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three-day journey in extent.
nkjv@Jonah:3:5 @ So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them.
nkjv@Jonah:3:6 @ Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes.
nkjv@Jonah:3:7 @ And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water.
nkjv@Jonah:3:8 @ But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
nkjv@Jonah:4:2 @ So he prayed to the LORD, and said, "Ah, LORD, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm.
nkjv@Jonah:4:3 @ Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!"
nkjv@Jonah:4:4 @ Then the LORD said, "Is it right for you to be angry?"
nkjv@Jonah:4:6 @ And the LORD God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be shade for his head to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very grateful for the plant.
nkjv@Jonah:4:10 @ But the LORD said, "You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night.
nkjv@Micah:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
nkjv@Micah:1:2 @ Hear, all you peoples! Listen, O earth, and all that is in it! Let the Lord GOD be a witness against you, The Lord from His holy temple.
nkjv@Micah:1:3 @ For behold, the LORD is coming out of His place; He will come down And tread on the high places of the earth.
nkjv@Micah:1:7 @ All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces, And all her pay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire; All her idols I will lay desolate, For she gathered it from the pay of a harlot, And they shall return to the pay of a harlot."
nkjv@Micah:1:12 @ For the inhabitant of Maroth pined for good, But disaster came down from the LORD To the gate of Jerusalem.
nkjv@Micah:1:15 @ I will yet bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah; The glory of Israel shall come to Adullam.
nkjv@Micah:2:3 @ Therefore thus says the LORD: "Behold, against this family I am devising disaster, From which you cannot remove your necks; Nor shall you walk haughtily, For this is an evil time.
nkjv@Micah:2:5 @ Therefore you will have no one to determine boundaries by lot In the assembly of the LORD. ![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
