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:1:3 @ So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Dibla'im, and she conceived and bore him a son.
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:1:10 @ 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:1:11 @ And the people of Judah and the people of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint for themselves one head; and they shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
rsv@Hosea:2:1 @ Say to your brother, "My people," and to your sister, "She has obtained pity."
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:2:9 @ Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my wine in its season; and I will take away my wool and my flax, which were to cover her nakedness.
rsv@Hosea:2:11 @ And I will put an end to all her mirth, her feasts, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her appointed feasts.
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:2:14 @ "Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
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:2:23 @ 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:3:1 @ 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:4:6 @ 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:4:7 @ 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:4:17 @ 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:5:1 @ Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Hearken, O house of the king! For the judgment pertains to you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
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:5:5 @ The pride of Israel testifies to his face; E'phraim shall stumble in his guilt; Judah also shall stumble with them.
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:5:11 @ E'phraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because he was determined to go after vanity.
rsv@Hosea:5:12 @ Therefore I am like a moth to E'phraim, and like dry rot to the house of Judah.
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:6:1 @ "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:6:9 @ As robbers lie in wait for a man, so the priests are banded together; they murder on the way to Shechem, yea, they commit villainy.
rsv@Hosea:6:11 @ For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed. When I would restore the fortunes of my people,
rsv@Hosea:7:4 @ They are all adulterers; they are like a heated oven, whose baker ceases to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
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:7:11 @ E'phraim is like a dove, silly and without sense, calling to Egypt, going to Assyria.
rsv@Hosea:7:13 @ Woe to them, for they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me! I would redeem them, but they speak lies against me.
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:7:16 @ They turn to Ba'al; they are like a treacherous bow, their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
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:8:2 @ To me they cry, My God, we Israel know thee.
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:8:9 @ For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass wandering alone; E'phraim has hired lovers.
rsv@Hosea:8:11 @ Because E'phraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they have become to him altars for sinning.
rsv@Hosea:8:12 @ Were I to write for him my laws by ten thousands, they would be regarded as a strange thing.
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:9:3 @ 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:9:6 @ For behold, they are going to Assyria; Egypt shall gather them, Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver; thorns shall be in their tents.
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:9:12 @ Even if they bring up children, I will bereave them till none is left. Woe to them when I depart from them!
rsv@Hosea:9:13 @ E'phraim's sons, as I have seen, are destined for a prey; E'phraim must lead forth his sons to slaughter.
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:9:17 @ My God will cast them off, because they have not hearkened to him; they shall be wanderers among the nations.
rsv@Hosea:10:6 @ Yea, the thing itself shall be carried to Assyria, as tribute to the great king. E'phraim shall be put to shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.
rsv@Hosea:10:8 @ The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. Thorn and thistle shall grow up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fall upon us.
rsv@Hosea:10:10 @ I will come against the wayward people to chastise them; and nations shall be gathered against them when they are chastised for their double iniquity.
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:10:15 @ Thus it shall be done to you, O house of Israel, because of your great wickedness. In the storm the king of Israel shall be utterly cut off.
rsv@Hosea:11:2 @ The more I called them, the more they went from me; they kept sacrificing to the Ba'als, and burning incense to idols.
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:11:4 @ 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:11:5 @ They shall return to the land of Egypt, and Assyria shall be their king, because they have refused to return to me.
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:11:11 @ 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: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:12:1 @ 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:12:3 @ In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and in his manhood he strove with God.
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:12:10 @ I spoke to the prophets; it was I who multiplied visions, and through the prophets gave parables.
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:12:12 @ (Jacob fled to the land of Aram, there Israel did service for a wife, and for a wife he herded sheep.)
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:13:6 @ but when they had fed to the full, they were filled, and their heart was lifted up; therefore they forgot me.
rsv@Hosea:13:7 @ So I will be to them like a lion, like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.
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:13:12 @ The iniquity of E'phraim is bound up, his sin is kept in store.
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:14:3 @ 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:14:5 @ I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, he shall strike root as the poplar;
rsv@Hosea:14:8 @ 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@Joel:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Joel, the son of Pethu'el:
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:1:17 @ The seed shrivels under the clods, the storehouses are desolate; the granaries are ruined because the grain has failed.
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:1:20 @ Even the wild beasts cry to thee because the water brooks are dried up, and fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
rsv@Joel:2:5 @ As with the rumbling of chariots, they leap on the tops of the mountains, like the crackling of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, like a powerful army drawn up for battle.
rsv@Joel:2:9 @ They leap upon the city, they run upon the walls; they climb up into the houses, they enter through the windows like a thief.
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:2:19 @ 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:2:25 @ I will restore to you the years which the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent among you.

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:3:1 @ "For behold, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
rsv@Joel:3:2 @ I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehosh'aphat, and I will enter into judgment with them there, on account of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations, and have divided up my land,
rsv@Joel:3:4 @ "What are you to me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you paying me back for something? If you are paying me back, I will requite your deed upon your own head swiftly and speedily.

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:3:19 @ "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@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:1:15 @ 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: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 never again pass by them;
rsv@Amos:7:10 @ Then Amazi'ah the priest of Bethel sent to Jerobo'am king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words.

rsv@Jonah:1:1 @ Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amit'tai, saying,
rsv@Jonah:1:2 @ "Arise, go to Nin'eveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness has come up before me."
rsv@Jonah:1:3 @ But Jonah rose 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 on board, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.
rsv@Jonah:1:4 @ But the LORD hurled a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship threatened to break up.
rsv@Jonah:1:5 @ Then the mariners were afraid, and each cried to his god; and they threw the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone down into the inner part of the ship and had lain down, and was fast asleep.
rsv@Jonah:1:6 @ So the captain came and said to him, "What do you mean, you sleeper? Arise, call upon your god! Perhaps the god will give a thought to us, that we do not perish."
rsv@Jonah:1:7 @ And they said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
rsv@Jonah:1:8 @ Then they said to him, "Tell us, on whose account this evil has come upon us? What is your occupation? And whence do you come? What is your country? And of what people are you?"
rsv@Jonah:1:9 @ And 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."
rsv@Jonah:1:10 @ Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "What is this that you have done!" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
rsv@Jonah:1:11 @ Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may quiet down for us?" For the sea grew more and more tempestuous.
rsv@Jonah:1:12 @ He said to them, "Take me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will quiet down for you; for I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you."
rsv@Jonah:1:13 @ Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring the ship back to land, but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.
rsv@Jonah:1:14 @ Therefore they cried to the LORD, "We beseech thee, O LORD, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not on us innocent blood; for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee."
rsv@Jonah:1:15 @ So they took up Jonah and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.
rsv@Jonah:1:16 @ Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.
rsv@Jonah:1:17 @ And the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
rsv@Jonah:2:1 @ Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish,
rsv@Jonah:2:2 @ saying, "I called to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou didst hear my voice.
rsv@Jonah:2:3 @ For thou didst cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
rsv@Jonah:2:6 @ at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me for ever; yet thou didst bring up my life from the Pit, O LORD my God.
rsv@Jonah:2:7 @ When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; and my prayer came to thee, into thy holy temple.
rsv@Jonah:2:8 @ Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their true loyalty.
rsv@Jonah:2:9 @ But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to thee; what I have vowed I will pay. Deliverance belongs to the LORD!"
rsv@Jonah:2:10 @ And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
rsv@Jonah:3:1 @ Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,
rsv@Jonah:3:2 @ "Arise, go to Nin'eveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you."
rsv@Jonah:3:3 @ So Jonah arose and went to Nin'eveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nin'eveh was an exceedingly great city, three days' journey in breadth.
rsv@Jonah:3:4 @ Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he cried, "Yet forty days, and Nin'eveh shall be overthrown!"
rsv@Jonah:3:5 @ And the people of Nin'eveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
rsv@Jonah:3:8 @ but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them cry mightily to God; yea, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence which is in his hands.
rsv@Jonah:3:10 @ When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God repented of the evil which he had said he would do to them; and he did not do it.
rsv@Jonah:4:2 @ And he prayed to the LORD and said, "I pray thee, LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and repentest of evil.
rsv@Jonah:4:3 @ Therefore now, O LORD, take my life from me, I beseech thee, for it is better for me to die than to live."
rsv@Jonah:4:4 @ And the LORD said, "Do you do well to be angry?"
rsv@Jonah:4:5 @ Then Jonah went out of the city and sat to the east of the city, and made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city.
rsv@Jonah:4:6 @ And the LORD God appointed a plant, and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant.
rsv@Jonah:4:8 @ When the sun rose, God appointed a sultry east wind, and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah so that he was faint; and he asked that he might die, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."
rsv@Jonah:4:9 @ But God said to Jonah, "Do you do well to be angry for the plant?" And he said, "I do well to be angry, angry enough to die."
rsv@Jonah:4:10 @ And the LORD said, "You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night, and perished in a night.
rsv@Micah:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Micah of Mo'resheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezeki'ah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Sama'ria and Jerusalem.
rsv@Micah:1:6 @ Therefore I will make Sama'ria a heap in the open country, a place for planting vineyards; and I will pour down her stones into the valley, and uncover her foundations.
rsv@Micah:1:7 @ All her images shall be beaten to pieces, all her hires shall be burned with fire, and all her idols I will lay waste; for from the hire of a harlot she gathered them, and to the hire of a harlot they shall return.
