Hosea:1:4 @And the Lord said to him, Give him the name of Jezreel, for after a little time I will send punishment for the blood of Jezreel on the line of Jehu, and put an end to the kingdom of Israel.
bbe@Hosea:1:10 @But still the number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which may not be measured or numbered; and in place of its being said to them, You are not my people, it will be said to them, You are the sons of the living God
bbe@Hosea:2:2 @Take up the cause against your mother, take it up, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; let her put away her loose ways from her face, and her false ways from between her breasts;
bbe@Hosea:2:7 @And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.
bbe@Hosea:2:8 @For she had no knowledge that it was I who gave her the grain and the wine and the oil, increasing her silver and gold which they gave to the Baal.
bbe@Hosea:2:9 @So I will take away again my grain in its time and my wine, and I will take away my wool and my linen with which her body might have been covered.
bbe@Hosea:2:13 @And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:2:18 @And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in peace.
bbe@Hosea:2:20 @I will take you as my bride in good faith, and you will have knowledge of the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:2:21 @And it will be, in that day, says the Lord, that I will give an answer to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth;
bbe@Hosea:2:22 @And the earth will give its answer to the grain and the wine and the oil, and they will give an answer to Jezreel;
bbe@Hosea:3:4 @For the children of Israel will for a long time be without king and without ruler, without offerings and without pillars, and without ephod or images.
bbe@Hosea:4:1 @Give ear to the word of the Lord, O children of Israel; for the Lord has a cause against the people of this land, because there is no good faith in it, and no mercy and no knowledge of God in the land.
bbe@Hosea:4:2 @There is cursing and broken faith, violent death and attacks on property, men are untrue in married life, houses are broken into, and there is blood touching blood.
bbe@Hosea:4:3 @Because of this the land will be dry, and everyone living in it will be wasted away, with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven; even the fishes of the sea will be taken away.
bbe@Hosea:4:4 @Let no man go to law or make protests, for your people are like those who go to law with a priest.
bbe@Hosea:4:5 @You will not be able to keep on your feet by day, and by night the prophet will be falling down with you, and I will give your mother to destruction.
bbe@Hosea:4:12 @My people get knowledge from their tree, and their rod gives them news; for a false spirit is the cause of their wandering, and they have been false to their God.
bbe@Hosea:4:14 @I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away.
bbe@Hosea:4:18 @Their drink has become bitter; they are completely false; her rulers take pleasure in shame.
bbe@Hosea:5:1 @Give ear to this, O priests; give attention, O Israel, and you, family of the king; for you are to be judged; you have been a deceit at Mizpah and a net stretched out on Tabor.
bbe@Hosea:5:2 @They have gone deep in the evil ways of Shittim, but I am the judge of all.
bbe@Hosea:5:4 @Their works will not let them come back to their God, for a false spirit is in them and they have no knowledge of the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:5:6 @They will go, with their flocks and their herds, in search of the Lord, but they will not see him; he has taken himself out of their view.
bbe@Hosea:5:7 @They have been false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.
bbe@Hosea:5:11 @Ephraim is troubled; he is crushed by his judges, because he took pleasure in walking after deceit.
bbe@Hosea:6:5 @So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;
bbe@Hosea:6:8 @Gilead is a town of evil-doers, marked with blood.
bbe@Hosea:6:9 @And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.
bbe@Hosea:7:3 @In their sin they make a king for themselves, and rulers in their deceit.
bbe@Hosea:7:4 @They are all untrue; they are like a burning oven; the bread-maker does not make up the fire from the time when the paste is mixed till it is leavened.
bbe@Hosea:7:5 @On the day of our king, the rulers made him ill with the heat of wine; his hand was stretched out with the men of pride.
bbe@Hosea:7:6 @For they have made their hearts ready like an oven, while they are waiting secretly; their wrath is sleeping all night; in the morning it is burning like a flaming fire.
bbe@Hosea:7:8 @Ephraim is mixed with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
bbe@Hosea:7:9 @Men from other lands have made waste his strength, and he is not conscious of it; grey hairs have come on him here and there, and he has no knowledge of it.
bbe@Hosea:7:11 @And Ephraim is like a foolish dove, without wisdom; they send out their cry to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
bbe@Hosea:8:4 @They have put up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, but I had no knowledge of it; they have made images of silver and gold, so that they may be cut off.
bbe@Hosea:8:5 @I will have nothing to do with your young ox, O Samaria; my wrath is burning against them; how long will it be before the children of Israel make themselves clean?
bbe@Hosea:8:6 @The workman made it, it is no god; the ox of Samaria will be broken into bits.
bbe@Hosea:8:7 @For they have been planting the wind, and their fruit will be the storm; his grain has no stem, it will give no meal, and if it does, a strange nation will take it.
bbe@Hosea:8:10 @But though they give money to the nations for help, still I will send them in all directions; and in a short time they will be without a king and rulers.
bbe@Hosea:8:12 @Though I put my law in writing for him in ten thousand rules, they are to him as a strange thing.
bbe@Hosea:9:4 @They will give no wine offering to the Lord, they will not make offerings ready for him; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow; all who take it will be unclean, because their bread will be only for their desire, it will not come into the house of the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:9:6 @For see, they are going away into Assyria; Egypt will get them together, Memphis will be their last resting-place; their fair silver vessels will be covered over with field plants, and thorns will come up in their tents.
bbe@Hosea:9:7 @The days of punishment, the days of reward are come; Israel will be put to shame; the prophet is foolish, the man who has the spirit is off his head, because of your great sin.
bbe@Hosea:9:10 @I made discovery of Israel as of grapes in the waste land; I saw your fathers as the first-fruits of the fig-tree in her early fruit time; but they came to Baal-peor, and made themselves holy to the thing of shame, and became disgusting like that to which they gave their love.
bbe@Hosea:9:11 @As for Ephraim, their glory will go in flight like a bird: there will be no birth and no one with child and no giving of life.
bbe@Hosea:9:12 @Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away, so that not a man will be there; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it.
bbe@Hosea:9:14 @O Lord, what will you give them? Give them bodies which may not give birth and breasts without milk.
bbe@Hosea:9:16 @The rod has come on Ephraim, their root is dry, let them have no fruit; even though they give birth, I will put to death the dearest fruit of their bodies.
bbe@Hosea:10:1 @Israel is a branching vine, full of fruit; as his fruit is increased, so the number of his altars is increased; as the land is fair, so they have made fair pillars.
bbe@Hosea:10:4 @Their words are foolish; they make agreements with false oaths, so punishment will come up like a poison-plant in a ploughed field.
bbe@Hosea:10:5 @The people of Samaria will be full of fear because of the ox of Beth-aven; its people will have sorrow for it, and its priests will give cries of grief for its glory, for the glory has gone in flight.
bbe@Hosea:10:6 @And they will take it to Assyria and give it to the great king; shame will come on Ephraim, and Israel will be shamed because of its image.
bbe@Hosea:10:9 @O Israel, you have done evil from the days of Gibeah; there they took up their position, so that the fighting against the children of evil might not overtake them in Gibeah
bbe@Hosea:10:12 @Put in the seed of righteousness, get in your grain in mercy, let your unploughed earth be turned up: for it is time to make search for the Lord, till he comes and sends righteousness on you like rain.
bbe@Hosea:10:13 @You have been ploughing sin, you have got in a store of evil, the fruit of deceit has been your food: for you put faith in your way, in the number of your men of war.
bbe@Hosea:10:14 @So a great outcry will go up from among your people, and all your strong places will be broken, as Beth-arbel was broken by Shalman in the day of war, as the mother was broken on the rocks with her children.
bbe@Hosea:11:4 @I made them come after me with the cords of a man, with the bands of love; I was to them as one who took the yoke from off their mouths, putting meat before them.
bbe@Hosea:11:8 @How may I give you up, O Ephraim? how may I be your saviour, O Israel? how may I make you like Admah? how may I do to you as I did to Zeboim? My heart is turned in me, it is soft with pity.
bbe@Hosea:11:10 @They will go after the Lord; his cry will be like that of a lion; his cry will be loud, and the children will come from the west, shaking with fear;
bbe@Hosea:11:11 @Shaking with fear like a bird, they will come out of Egypt, like a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will give them rest in their houses, says the Lord
bbe@Hosea:11:12 @The deceit of Ephraim and the false words of Israel are about me on every side....
bbe@Hosea:12:1 @Ephraim's food is the wind, and he goes after the east wind: deceit and destruction are increasing day by day; they make an agreement with Assyria, and take oil into Egypt.
bbe@Hosea:12:3 @In the body of his mother he took his brother by the foot, and in his strength he was fighting with God;
bbe@Hosea:12:4 @He had a fight with the angel and overcame him; he made request for grace to him with weeping; he came face to face with him in Beth-el and there his words came to him;
bbe@Hosea:12:6 @So then, come back to your God; keep mercy and right, and be waiting at all times on your God.
bbe@Hosea:12:7 @As for Canaan, the scales of deceit are in his hands; he takes pleasure in twisted ways.
bbe@Hosea:12:11 @In Gilead there is evil. They are quite without value; in Gilgal they make offerings of oxen; truly their altars are like masses of stones in the hollows of a ploughed field.
bbe@Hosea:12:14 @I have been bitterly moved to wrath by Ephraim; so that his blood will be on him, and the Lord will make his shame come back on him.
bbe@Hosea:13:8 @I will come face to face with them like a bear whose young ones have been taken from her, and their inmost hearts will be broken; there the dogs will make a meal of them; they will be wounded by the beasts of the field.
bbe@Hosea:13:13 @The pains of a woman in childbirth will come on him: he is an unwise son, for at this time it is not right for him to keep his place when children come to birth.
bbe@Hosea:13:14 @I will give the price to make them free from the power of the underworld, I will be their saviour from death: O death! where are your pains? O underworld! where is your destruction? my eyes will have no pity.
bbe@Hosea:13:15 @Though he gives fruit among his brothers, an east wind will come, the wind of the Lord coming up from the waste land, and his spring will become dry, his fountain will be without water: it will make waste the store of all the vessels of his desire
bbe@Hosea:13:16 @Samaria will be made waste, for she has gone against her God: they will be cut down by the sword, their little children will be broken on the rocks, their women who are with child will be cut open.
bbe@Hosea:14:2 @Take with you words, and come back to the Lord; say to him, Let there be forgiveness for all wrongdoing, so that we may take what is good, and give in payment the fruit of our lips.
bbe@Hosea:14:8 @As for Ephraim, what has he to do with false gods any longer? I have given an answer and I will keep watch over him; I am like a branching fir-tree, from me comes your fruit.
bbe@Joel:1:3 @Give the story of it to your children, and let them give it to their children, and their children to another generation.
bbe@Joel:1:5 @Come out of your sleep, you who are overcome with wine, and give yourselves to weeping; give cries of sorrow, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it has been cut off from your mouths.
bbe@Joel:1:6 @For a nation has come up over my land, strong and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the back teeth of a great lion.
bbe@Joel:1:7 @By him my vine is made waste and my fig-tree broken: he has taken all its fruit and sent it down to the earth; its branches are made white.
bbe@Joel:1:14 @Let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting, let the old men, even all the people of the land, come together to the house of the Lord your God, crying out to the Lord.
bbe@Joel:1:15 @Sorrow for the day! for the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Ruler of all it will come.
bbe@Joel:1:19 @O Lord, my cry goes up to you: for fire has put an end to the grass-lands of the waste, and all the trees of the field are burned with its flame.
bbe@Joel:1:20 @The beasts of the field are turning to you with desire: for the water-streams are dry and fire has put an end to the grass-lands of the waste.
bbe@Joel:2:6 @At their coming the people are bent with pain: all faces become red together.
bbe@Joel:2:11 @And the Lord is thundering before his forces; for very great is his army; for he is strong who gives effect to his word: for the day of the Lord is great and greatly to be feared, and who has strength against it?
bbe@Joel:2:12 @But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:
bbe@Joel:2:13 @Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing, and come back to the Lord your God: for he is full of grace and pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, ready to be turned from his purpose of punishment.
bbe@Joel:2:14 @May it not be that he will again let his purpose be changed and let a blessing come after him, even a meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God?
bbe@Joel:2:15 @Let a horn be sounded in Zion, let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting:
bbe@Joel:2:17 @Let the priests, the servants of the Lord, be weeping between the covered way and the altar, and let them say, Have mercy on your people, O Lord, do not give up your heritage to shame, so that the nations become their rulers: why let them say among the peoples, Where is their God?
bbe@Joel:2:18 @Then the Lord had a care for the honour of his land and had pity on his people.
bbe@Joel:2:20 @I will send the one from the north far away from you, driving him into a dry and waste land, with his front to the sea of the east and his back to the sea of the west, and the smell of him will go up, even his evil smell will go up.
bbe@Joel:2:21 @Have no fear, O land; be glad with great joy; for the Lord has done great things.
bbe@Joel:2:22 @Have no fear, you beasts of the field, for the grass-lands of the waste are becoming green, for the trees are producing fruit, the fig-tree and the vine give out their strength.
bbe@Joel:2:24 @And the floors will be full of grain, and the crushing-places overflowing with wine and oil.
bbe@Joel:2:28 @And after that, it will come about, says the Lord, that I will send my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, your old men will have dreams, your young men will see visions:
bbe@Joel:2:29 @And on the servants and the servant-girls in those days I will send my spirit.
bbe@Joel:2:32 @And it will be that whoever makes his prayer to the name of the Lord will be kept safe: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem some will be kept safe, as the Lord has said, and will be among the small band marked out by the Lord.
bbe@Joel:3:2 @I will get together all the nations, and make them come down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and there I will take up with them the cause of my people and of my heritage Israel, whom they have sent wandering among the nations, and of my land which has been parted by them.
bbe@Joel:3:4 @And further, what are you to me, O Tyre and Zidon and all the circle of Philistia? will you give me back any payment? and if you do, quickly and suddenly I will send it back on your head,
bbe@Joel:3:8 @I will give your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah for a price, and they will give them for a price to the men of Sheba, a nation far off: for the Lord has said it.
bbe@Joel:3:18 @And it will come about in that day that the mountains will be dropping sweet wine, and the hills will be flowing with milk, and all the streams of Judah will be flowing with water; and a fountain will come out from the house of the Lord, watering the valley of acacia-trees.
bbe@Joel:3:19 @Egypt will be a waste and Edom a land of destruction, because of the evil done to the children of Judah, because they have let blood be drained out in their land without cause.
bbe@Amos:1:3 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.
bbe@Amos:1:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.
bbe@Amos:1:7 @And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:
bbe@Amos:1:9 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.
bbe@Amos:1:10 @And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.
bbe@Amos:1:11 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.
bbe@Amos:1:13 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.
bbe@Amos:1:14 @And I will make a fire in the wall of Rabbah, burning up its great houses, with loud cries in the days of war, with a storm in the day of the great wind:
bbe@Amos:2:1 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because he had the bones of the king of Edom burned to dust.
bbe@Amos:2:2 @And I will send a fire on Moab, burning up the great houses of Kerioth: and death will come on Moab with noise and outcries and the sound of the horn:
bbe@Amos:2:3 @And I will have the judge cut off from among them, and all their captains I will put to death with him, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:2:4 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Judah, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given up the law of the Lord, and have not kept his rules; and their false ways, in which their fathers went, have made them go out of the right way.
bbe@Amos:2:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given the upright man for silver, and the poor for the price of two shoes;
bbe@Amos:2:9 @Though I sent destruction on the Amorite before them, who was tall as the cedar and strong as the oak-tree, cutting off his fruit from on high and his roots from under the earth.
bbe@Amos:2:10 @And I took you up out of the land of Egypt, guiding you for forty years in the waste land, so that you might take for your heritage the land of the Amorite.
bbe@Amos:2:11 @And some of your sons I made prophets, and some of your young men I made separate for myself. Is it not even so, O children of Israel? says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:2:16 @And he who is without fear among the fighting men will go in flight without his clothing in that day, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:3:3 @Is it possible for two to go walking together, if not by agreement?
bbe@Amos:3:5 @Is it possible for a bird to be taken in a net on the earth where no net has been put for him? will the net come up from the earth if it has taken nothing at all?
bbe@Amos:3:6 @If the horn is sounded in the town will the people not be full of fear? will evil come on a town if the Lord has not done it?
bbe@Amos:3:7 @Certainly the Lord will do nothing without making clear his secret to his servants, the prophets.
bbe@Amos:3:8 @The cry of the lion is sounding; who will not have fear? The Lord God has said the word; is it possible for the prophet to keep quiet?
bbe@Amos:3:9 @Give out the news in the great houses of Assyria and in the land of Egypt, and say, Come together on the mountains of Samaria, and see what great outcries are there, and what cruel acts are done in it.
bbe@Amos:3:13 @Give ear now, and give witness against the family of Jacob, says the Lord God, the God of armies;
bbe@Amos:3:15 @And I will send destruction on the winter house with the summer house; the ivory houses will be falling down and the great houses will come to an end, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:4:2 @The Lord God has taken an oath by his holy name, that the days are coming when they will take you away with hooks, and the rest of you with fish-hooks.
bbe@Amos:4:4 @Come to Beth-el and do evil; to Gilgal, increasing the number of your sins; come with your offerings every morning and your tenths every three days:
bbe@Amos:4:7 @And I have kept back the rain from you, when it was still three months before the grain-cutting: I sent rain on one town and kept it back from another: one part was rained on, and the part where there was no rain became a waste.
bbe@Amos:4:10 @I have sent disease among you, as it was in Egypt: I have put your young men to the sword, and have taken away your horses; I have made the evil smell from your tents come up to your noses: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord
bbe@Amos:4:12 @So this is what I will do to you, O Israel: and because I will do this to you, be ready for a meeting with your God, O Israel.
bbe@Amos:5:6 @Go to the Lord for help so that you may have life; for fear that he may come like fire bursting out in the family of Joseph, causing destruction, and there will be no one to put it out in Beth-el.
bbe@Amos:5:7 @You who make the work of judging a bitter thing, crushing down righteousness to the earth;
bbe@Amos:5:8 @Go for help to him who makes Orion and the Pleiades, by whom the deep dark is turned into morning, who makes the day black with night; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, sending them out over the face of the earth: the Lord is his name;
bbe@Amos:5:13 @So the wise will say nothing in that time; for it is an evil time.
bbe@Amos:5:14 @Go after good and not evil, so that life may be yours: and so the Lord, the God of armies, will be with you, as you say.
bbe@Amos:5:15 @Be haters of evil and lovers of good, and let right be done in the public place: it may be that the Lord, the God of armies, will have mercy on the rest of Joseph.
bbe@Amos:5:18 @Sorrow to you who are looking for the day of the Lord! what is the day of the Lord to you? it is dark and not light.
bbe@Amos:5:19 @As if a man, running away from a lion, came face to face with a bear; or went into the house and put his hand on the wall and got a bite from a snake.
bbe@Amos:5:20 @Will not the day of the Lord be dark and not light? even very dark, with no light shining in it?
bbe@Amos:5:21 @Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings.
bbe@Amos:5:22 @Even if you give me your burned offerings and your meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: I will have nothing to do with the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
bbe@Amos:5:25 @Did you come to me with offerings of beasts and meal offerings in the waste land for forty years, O Israel?
bbe@Amos:6:6 @Drinking wine in basins, rubbing themselves with the best oils; but they have no grief for the destruction of Joseph.
bbe@Amos:6:7 @So now they will go away prisoners with the first of those who are made prisoners, and the loud cry of those who were stretched out will come to an end.
bbe@Amos:6:8 @The Lord God has taken an oath by himself, says the Lord, the God of armies: the pride of Jacob is disgusting to me, and I have hate for his great houses: so I will give up the town with everything in it.
bbe@Amos:6:9 @Then it will come about that if there are still ten men in a house, death will overtake them.
bbe@Amos:6:10 @And when a man's relation, even the one who is responsible for burning his body, lifting him up to take his bones out of the house, says to him who is in the inmost part of the house, Is there still anyone with you? and he says, No; then he will say, Keep quiet, for the name of the Lord may not be named.
bbe@Amos:6:11 @For see, at the order of the Lord the great house will be full of cracks and the little house will be broken.
bbe@Amos:6:12 @Is it possible for horses to go running on the rock? may the sea be ploughed with oxen? for the right to be turned by you into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into a bitter plant?
bbe@Amos:7:1 @This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw that, when the growth of the late grass was starting, he made locusts; it was the late growth after the king's cutting was done.
bbe@Amos:7:2 @And it came about that after they had taken all the grass of the land, I said, O Lord God, have mercy: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.
bbe@Amos:7:3 @The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, It will not be.
bbe@Amos:7:4 @This is what the Lord let me see: and I saw that the Lord God sent for a great fire to be the instrument of his punishment; and, after burning up the great deep, it was about to put an end to the Lord's heritage.
bbe@Amos:7:9 @And the high places of Isaac will be unpeopled, and the holy places of Israel will be made waste; and I will come up against the family of Jeroboam with the sword.
bbe@Amos:7:13 @But be a prophet no longer at Beth-el: for it is the holy place of the king, and the king's house.
bbe@Amos:8:1 @This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw a basket of summer fruit.
bbe@Amos:8:2 @And he said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then the Lord said to me, The end has come to my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin.
bbe@Amos:8:3 @And the songs of the king's house will be cries of pain in that day, says the Lord God: great will be the number of the dead bodies, and everywhere they will put them out without a word.
bbe@Amos:8:5 @Saying, When will the new moon be gone, so that we may do trade in grain? and the Sabbath, so that we may put out in the market the produce of our fields? making the measure small and the price great, and trading falsely with scales of deceit;
bbe@Amos:8:8 @Will not the land be shaking with fear because of this, and everyone in it have sorrow? and all of it will be overflowing like the River; and it will be troubled and go down again like the River of Egypt.
bbe@Amos:8:9 @And it will come about in that day, says the Lord God, that I will make the sun go down in the middle of the day, and I will make the earth dark in daylight:
bbe@Amos:8:10 @Your feasts will be turned into sorrow and all your melody into songs of grief; everyone will be clothed with haircloth, and the hair of every head will be cut; I will make the weeping like that for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.
bbe@Amos:8:12 @And they will go wandering from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, running here and there in search of the word of the Lord, and they will not get it.
bbe@Amos:9:1 @I saw the Lord stationed by the side of the altar, giving blows to the tops of the pillars so that the doorsteps were shaking: and he said, I will let all of them be broken with earth-shocks; I will put the last of them to the sword: if any one of them goes in flight he will not get away, not one of them will be safe.
bbe@Amos:9:3 @Though they take cover on the top of Carmel, I will go in search of them and get them out; though they keep themselves from my eyes in the bed of the sea, I will give orders to the great snake there and he will give them a bite:
bbe@Amos:9:5 @For the Lord, the God of armies, is he at whose touch the land is turned to water, and everyone in it will be given up to sorrow; all of it will be overflowing like the River, and will go down again like the River of Egypt;
bbe@Amos:9:6 @It is he who makes his rooms in the heaven, basing his arch on the earth; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, and sends them flowing over the face of the earth; the Lord is his name.
bbe@Amos:9:8 @See, the eyes of the Lord are on the evil kingdom, and I will put an end to it in all the earth; but I will not send complete destruction on Jacob, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:9:10 @All those sinners among my people will be put to the sword who say, Evil will not overtake us or come face to face with us.
bbe@Amos:9:11 @In that day I will put up the tent of David which has come down, and make good its broken places; and I will put up again his damaged walls, building it up as in the past;
bbe@Amos:9:12 @So that the rest of Edom may be their heritage, and all the nations who have been named by my name, says the Lord, who is doing this.
bbe@Amos:9:14 @And I will let the fate of my people Israel be changed, and they will be building up again the waste towns and living in them; they will again be planting vine-gardens and taking the wine for their drink; and they will make gardens and get the fruit of them.
bbe@Obadiah:1:7 @All the men who were united with you have been false to you, driving you out to the edge of the land: the men who were at peace with you have overcome you; they have taken their heritage in your place.
bbe@Obadiah:1:9 @And your men of war, O Teman, will be overcome with fear, so that every one of them may be cut off from the mountain of Esau.
bbe@Obadiah:1:10 @Because you were the cause of violent death and because of your cruel behaviour to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and will be cut off for ever.
bbe@Obadiah:1:12 @Do not see with pleasure your brother's evil day, the day of his fate, and do not be glad over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction, or make wide your mouth on the day of trouble.
bbe@Obadiah:1:13 @Do not go into the doors of my people on the day of their downfall; do not be looking on their trouble with pleasure on the day of their downfall, or put your hands on their goods on the day of their downfall.
bbe@Obadiah:1:15 @For the day of the Lord is coming quickly on all nations: as you have done it will be done to you; the reward of your acts will come on your head.
bbe@Obadiah:1:16 @For as you have been drinking on my holy mountain, so will all the nations go on drinking without end; they will go on drinking and the wine will go down their throats, and they will be as if they had never been.
bbe@Obadiah:1:17 @But in Mount Zion some will be kept safe, and it will be holy; and the children of Jacob will take their heritage.
bbe@Obadiah:1:18 @And the children of Jacob will be a fire and those of Joseph a flame, and the children of Esau dry stems of grass, burned up by them till all is gone: and there will be no people living in Esau; for the Lord has said it.
bbe@Obadiah:1:19 @And they will take the South, and the lowland, and the country of Ephraim, and Gilead, as their heritage.
bbe@Obadiah:1:20 @And those of the children of Israel who were the first to be taken away as prisoners, will have their heritage among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath; and those who were taken away from Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will have the towns of the South.
bbe@Jonah:1:1 @And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,
bbe@Jonah:1:2 @Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and let your voice come to it; for their evil-doing has come up before me.
bbe@Jonah:1:3 @And Jonah got up to go in flight to Tarshish, away from the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and saw there a ship going to Tarshish: so he gave them the price of the journey and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord.
bbe@Jonah:1:10 @And the men were in great fear, and they said to him, What is this you have done? For the men had knowledge of his flight from the Lord because he had not kept it from them.
bbe@Jonah:1:14 @So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you.
bbe@Jonah:1:17 @And the Lord made ready a great fish to take Jonah into its mouth; and Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.
bbe@Jonah:2:9 @But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.
bbe@Jonah:2:10 @And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
bbe@Jonah:3:2 @Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and give it the word which I have given you.
bbe@Jonah:3:5 @And the people of Nineveh had belief in God; and a time was fixed for going without food, and they put on haircloth, from the greatest to the least.
bbe@Jonah:3:6 @And the word came to the king of Nineveh, and he got up from his seat of authority, and took off his robe, and covering himself with haircloth, took his seat in the dust.
bbe@Jonah:3:7 @And he had it given out in Nineveh, By the order of the king and his great men, no man or beast, herd or flock, is to have a taste of anything; let them have no food or water:
bbe@Jonah:3:8 @And let man and beast be covered with haircloth, and let them make strong prayers to God: and let everyone be turned from his evil way and the violent acts of their hands.
bbe@Jonah:3:10 @And God saw what they did, how they were turned from their evil way; and God's purpose was changed as to the evil which he said he would do to them, and he did it not
bbe@Jonah:4:2 @And he made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still in my country? This is why I took care to go in flight to Tarshish: for I was certain that you were a loving God, full of pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, and ready to be turned from your purpose of evil.
bbe@Jonah:4:5 @Then Jonah went out of the town, and took his seat on the east side of the town and made himself a roof of branches and took his seat under its shade till he saw what would become of the town.
bbe@Jonah:4:7 @But early on the morning after, God made ready a worm for the destruction of the vine, and it became dry and dead.
bbe@Jonah:4:10 @And the Lord said, You had pity on the vine, for which you did no work and for the growth of which you were not responsible; which came up in a night and came to an end in a night;
bbe@Jonah:4:11 @And am I not to have mercy on Nineveh, that great town, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons without the power of judging between right and left, as well as much cattle?
bbe@Micah:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah: his vision about Samaria and Jerusalem.
bbe@Micah:1:2 @Give ear, you peoples, all of you; give attention, O earth and everything in it: let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy Temple.
bbe@Micah:1:5 @All this is because of the wrongdoing of Jacob and the sins of the children of Israel. What is the wrongdoing of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
bbe@Micah:1:6 @So I will make Samaria into a field and the plantings of a vine-garden: I will send its stones falling down into the valley, uncovering its bases.
bbe@Micah:1:7 @And all her pictured images will be hammered into bits, and all the payments for her loose ways will be burned with fire, and all the images of her gods I will make waste: for with the price of a loose woman she got them together, and as the price of a loose woman will they be given back.
bbe@Micah:1:9 @For her wounds may not be made well: for it has come even to Judah, stretching up to the doorway of my people, even to Jerusalem.
bbe@Micah:1:10 @Give no word of it in Gath, let there be no weeping at all: at Beth-le-aphrah be rolling in the dust.
bbe@Micah:1:11 @Be uncovered and go away, you who are living in Shaphir: the one living in Zaanan has not come out of her town; Beth-ezel is taken away from its base, even from its resting-place.
bbe@Micah:1:12 @For the one living in Maroth is waiting for good: for evil has come down from the Lord to the doorways of Jerusalem.
bbe@Micah:1:14 @For this cause give a parting offering to Moresheth-gath: the daughter of Achzib will be a deceit to the king of Israel.
bbe@Micah:1:15 @Even now will the taker of your heritage come to you, you who are living in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will come to destruction for ever.
bbe@Micah:2:1 @A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power.
bbe@Micah:2:2 @They have a desire for fields and take them by force; and for houses and take them away: they are cruel to a man and his family, even to a man and his heritage.
bbe@Micah:2:3 @For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time.
bbe@Micah:2:4 @In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.
bbe@Micah:2:8 @As for you, you have become haters of those who were at peace with you: you take the clothing of those who go by without fear, and make them prisoners of war.
bbe@Micah:2:10 @Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you.
bbe@Micah:2:11 @If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people.
bbe@Micah:2:13 @The opener of the way will go up before them: forcing their way out they will go on to the doorway and out through it: their king will go on before them, and the Lord at their head.
bbe@Micah:3:1 @And I said, Give ear, now, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the people of Israel: is it not for you to have knowledge of what is right?
bbe@Micah:3:5 @This is what the Lord has said about the prophets by whom my people have been turned from the right way; who, biting with their teeth, say, Peace; and if anyone puts nothing in their mouths they make ready for war against him.
bbe@Micah:3:6 @For this cause it will be night for you, without a vision; and it will be dark for you, without knowledge of the future; the sun will go down over the prophets, and the day will be black over them.
bbe@Micah:3:8 @But I truly am full of the spirit of the Lord, with power of judging and with strength to make clear to Jacob his wrongdoing and to Israel his sin.
bbe@Micah:3:10 @They are building up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with evil-doing
bbe@Micah:3:11 @Its heads take rewards for judging, and the priests take payment for teaching, and the prophets get silver for reading the future: but still, supporting themselves on the Lord, they say, Is not the Lord among us? no evil will overtake us.
bbe@Micah:4:1 @But in the last days it will come about that the mountain of the Lord's house will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and peoples will be flowing to it.
bbe@Micah:4:4 @But every man will be seated under his vine and under his fig-tree, and no one will be a cause of fear to them: for the mouth of the Lord of armies has said it.
bbe@Micah:4:6 @In that day, says the Lord, I will get together her who goes with uncertain steps, I will get together her who has been sent away, and her on whom I have sent evil;
bbe@Micah:4:8 @And you, O tower of the flock, Ophel of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, even the earlier authority, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
bbe@Micah:5:1 @Now you will give yourselves deep wounds for grief; they will put up a wall round us: they will give the judge of Israel a blow on the face with a rod.
bbe@Micah:5:3 @For this cause he will give them up till the time when she who is with child has given birth: then the rest of his brothers will come back to the children of Israel.
bbe@Micah:5:6 @And they will make waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the edge of the sword: he will give us salvation from the Assyrian when he comes into our country, when his feet come inside the limit of our land.
bbe@Micah:5:7 @And the rest of Jacob will be among the mass of peoples like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which may not be kept back by man, or be waiting for the sons of men.
bbe@Micah:5:8 @And the rest of Jacob will be among the nations, in the middle of the mass of peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the woods, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep: if he goes through, they will be crushed under foot and pulled to bits, and there will be no saviour.
bbe@Micah:5:10 @And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that I will take away your horses from you, and will give your war-carriages to destruction:
bbe@Micah:5:15 @And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.
bbe@Micah:6:2 @Give ear, O you mountains, to the Lord's cause, and take note, you bases of the earth: for the Lord has a cause against his people, and he will take it up with Israel.
bbe@Micah:6:5 @O my people, keep in mind now what was designed by Balak, king of Moab, and the answer which Balaam, son of Beor, gave him; the events, from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may be certain of the upright acts of the Lord.
bbe@Micah:6:6 @With what am I to come before the Lord and go with bent head before the high God? am I to come before him with burned offerings, with young oxen a year old?
bbe@Micah:6:7 @Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of sheep or with ten thousand rivers of oil? am I to give my first child for my wrongdoing, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
bbe@Micah:6:8 @He has made clear to you, O man, what is good; and what is desired from you by the Lord; only doing what is right, and loving mercy, and walking without pride before your God.
bbe@Micah:6:11 @Is it possible for me to let wrong scales and the bag of false weights go without punishment?
bbe@Micah:6:12 @For its men of wealth are cruel, and its people have said what is not true, and their tongue is false in their mouth.
bbe@Micah:6:13 @So I have made a start with your punishment; I have made you waste because of your sins.
bbe@Micah:6:14 @You will have food, but not enough; your shame will be ever with you: you will get your goods moved, but you will not take them away safely; and what you do take away I will give to the sword![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
