Hosea:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Hose'a the son of Be-e'ri, in the days of Uzzi'ah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezeki'ah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jerobo'am the son of Jo'ash, king of Israel.
rsv@Hosea:1:2 @ When the LORD first spoke through Hose'a, the LORD said to Hose'a, "Go, take to yourself a wife of harlotry and have children of harlotry, for the land commits great harlotry by forsaking the LORD."
rsv@Hosea:1:4 @ And the LORD said to him, "Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
rsv@Hosea:1:6 @ She conceived again and bore a daughter. And the LORD said to him, "Call her name Not pitied, for I will no more have pity on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all.
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:1:9 @ And the LORD said, "Call his name Not my people, for you are not my people and I am not your God."
rsv@Hosea: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:2:5 @ For their mother has played the harlot; she that conceived them has acted shamefully. For she said, `I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'
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:2:10 @ Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.
rsv@Hosea:2:12 @ And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she said, `These are my hire, which my lovers have given me.' I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall devour them.
rsv@Hosea:2:13 @ And I will punish her for the feast days of the Ba'als when she burned incense to them and decked herself with her ring and jewelry, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says the LORD.
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:2:19 @ And I will betroth you to me for ever; I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love, and in mercy.
rsv@Hosea:2:20 @ I will betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD.
rsv@Hosea:2:21 @ "And in that day, says the LORD, I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth;
rsv@Hosea:3:1 @ And the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is beloved of a paramour and is an adulteress; even as the LORD loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins."
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:3:5 @ Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and they shall come in fear to the LORD and to his goodness in the latter days.
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:4:2 @ there is swearing, lying, killing, stealing, and committing adultery; they break all bounds and murder follows murder.
rsv@Hosea:4:7 @ The more they increased, the more they sinned against me; I will change their glory into shame.
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:4:12 @ My people inquire of a thing of wood, and their staff gives them oracles. For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray, and they have left their God to play the harlot.
rsv@Hosea:4:13 @ They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and make offerings upon the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the harlot, and your brides commit adultery.
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:4:17 @ E'phraim is joined to idols, let him alone.
rsv@Hosea:4:18 @ A band of drunkards, they give themselves to harlotry; they love shame more than their glory.
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:5:8 @ Blow the horn in Gib'e-ah, the trumpet in Ramah. Sound the alarm at Beth-a'ven; tremble, O Benjamin!
rsv@Hosea:6:1 @ "Come, let us return to the LORD; for he has torn, that he may heal us; he has stricken, and he will bind us up.
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:6:4 @ What shall I do with you, O E'phraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away.
rsv@Hosea:6:6 @ For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God, rather than burnt offerings.
rsv@Hosea:6:8 @ Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with blood.
rsv@Hosea:6:10 @ In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; E'phraim's harlotry is there, Israel is defiled.
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:8:1 @ Set the trumpet to your lips, for a vulture is over the house of the LORD, because they have broken my covenant, and transgressed my law.
rsv@Hosea:8:5 @ I have spurned your calf, O Sama'ria. My anger burns against them. How long will it be till they are pure
rsv@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up; already they are among the nations as a useless vessel.
rsv@Hosea:8:9 @ For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass wandering alone; E'phraim has hired lovers.
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:9:5 @ What will you do on the day of appointed festival, and on the day of the feast of the LORD?
rsv@Hosea:9:10 @ Like grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel. Like the first fruit on the fig tree, in its first season, I saw your fathers. But they came to Ba'al-pe'or, and consecrated themselves to Ba'al, and became detestable like the thing they loved.
rsv@Hosea:9:11 @ E'phraim's glory shall fly away like a bird--no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
rsv@Hosea:9:14 @ Give them, O LORD--what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
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: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:10:5 @ The inhabitants of Sama'ria tremble for the calf of Beth-a'ven. Its people shall mourn for it, and its idolatrous priests shall wail over it, over its glory which has departed from it.
rsv@Hosea:10:11 @ E'phraim was a trained heifer that loved to thresh, and I spared her fair neck; but I will put E'phraim to the yoke, Judah must plow, Jacob must harrow for himself.
rsv@Hosea:10:12 @ Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the LORD, that he may come and rain salvation upon you.
rsv@Hosea:10:13 @ You have plowed iniquity, you have reaped injustice, you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your chariots and in the multitude of your warriors,
rsv@Hosea:11:1 @ When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
rsv@Hosea:11:4 @ I led them with cords of compassion, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one, who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them.
rsv@Hosea:11:10 @ They shall go after the LORD, he will roar like a lion; yea, he will roar, and his sons shall come trembling from the west;
rsv@Hosea:11:11 @ they shall come trembling like birds from Egypt, and like doves from the land of Assyria; and I will return them to their homes, says the LORD.
rsv@Hosea:12:1 @ E'phraim herds the wind, and pursues the east wind all day long; they multiply falsehood and violence; they make a bargain with Assyria, and oil is carried to Egypt.
rsv@Hosea:12:2 @ The LORD has an indictment against Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways, and requite him according to his deeds.
rsv@Hosea:12:5 @ the LORD the God of hosts, the LORD is his name:
rsv@Hosea:12:6 @ "So you, by the help of your God, return, hold fast to love and justice, and wait continually for your God."
rsv@Hosea:12:7 @ A trader, in whose hands are false balances, he loves to oppress.
rsv@Hosea:12:9 @ I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt; I will again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the appointed feast.
rsv@Hosea:12:13 @ By a prophet the LORD brought Israel up from Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
rsv@Hosea:12:14 @ E'phraim has given bitter provocation; so his LORD will leave his bloodguilt upon him, and will turn back upon him his reproaches.
rsv@Hosea:13:3 @ Therefore they shall be like the morning mist or like the dew that goes early away, like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor or like smoke from a window.
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:13:15 @ Though he may flourish as the reed plant, the east wind, the wind of the LORD, shall come, rising from the wilderness; and his fountain shall dry up, his spring shall be parched; it shall strip his treasury of every precious thing.
rsv@Hosea:14:1 @ Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.
rsv@Hosea:14:2 @ Take with you words and return to the LORD; say to him, "Take away all iniquity; accept that which is good and we will render the fruit of our lips.
rsv@Hosea:14:4 @ I will heal their faithlessness; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them.
rsv@Hosea:14:5 @ I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, he shall strike root as the poplar;
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:14:8 @ O E'phraim, what have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like an evergreen cypress, from me comes your fruit.
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:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Joel, the son of Pethu'el:
rsv@Joel:1:4 @ What the cutting locust left, the swarming locust has eaten. What the swarming locust left, the hopping locust has eaten, and what the hopping locust left, the destroying locust has eaten.
rsv@Joel:1:8 @ Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the bridegroom of her youth.
rsv@Joel:1:9 @ The cereal offering and the drink offering are cut off from the house of the LORD. The priests mourn, the ministers of the LORD.
rsv@Joel:1:13 @ Gird on sackcloth and lament, O priests, wail, O ministers of the altar. Go in, pass the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God! Because cereal offering and drink offering are withheld from the house of your God.
rsv@Joel:1:14 @ Sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the LORD your God; and cry to the LORD.
rsv@Joel:1:15 @ Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is near, and as destruction from the Almighty it comes.
rsv@Joel:1:17 @ The seed shrivels under the clods, the storehouses are desolate; the granaries are ruined because the grain has failed.
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:1:19 @ Unto thee, O LORD, I cry. For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and flame has burned all the trees of the field.
rsv@Joel:2:1 @ Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming, it is near,
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:2:11 @ The LORD utters his voice before his army, for his host is exceedingly great; he that executes his word is powerful. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; who can endure it?
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:2:15 @ Blow the trumpet in Zion; sanctify a fast; call a solemn assembly;
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:2:18 @ Then the LORD became jealous for his land, and had pity on his people.
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:2:21 @ "Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the LORD has done great things!

rsv@Joel:2:31 @ The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.
rsv@Joel:2:32 @ And it shall come to pass that all who call upon the name of the LORD shall be delivered; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the LORD has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the LORD calls.
rsv@Joel:3:3 @ and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a harlot, and have sold a girl for wine, and have drunk it.

rsv@Joel:3:10 @ Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, "I am a warrior."
rsv@Joel:3:11 @ Hasten and come, all you nations round about, gather yourselves there. Bring down thy warriors, O LORD.
rsv@Joel:3:13 @ Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Go in, tread, for the wine press is full. The vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.
rsv@Joel:3:14 @ Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
rsv@Joel:3:16 @ And the LORD roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth shake. But the LORD is a refuge to his people, a stronghold to the people of Israel.
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:3:18 @ "And in that day the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the stream beds of Judah shall flow with water; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the LORD and water the valley of Shittim.
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:1:2 @ And he said: "The LORD roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the top of Carmel withers."
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:1:5 @ I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of Aven, and him that holds the scepter from Beth-eden; and the people of Syria shall go into exile to Kir," says the LORD.

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:1:13 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of the Ammonites, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they have ripped up women with child in Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.
rsv@Amos:1:15 @ and their king shall go into exile, he and his princes together," says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:2:1 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because he burned to lime the bones of the king of Edom.

rsv@Amos:2:4 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept his statutes, but their lies have led them astray, after which their fathers walked.

rsv@Amos:3:1 @ Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O people of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
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:4:6 @ "I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places, yet you did not return to me," says the LORD.

rsv@Amos:5:3 @ For thus says the Lord GOD: "The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel."
