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:1:5 @ And on that day, I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel."
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:1:9 @ And the LORD said, "Call his name Not my people, for you are not my people and I am not your God."
rsv@Hosea: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:2:4 @ Upon her children also I will have no pity, because they are children of harlotry.
rsv@Hosea:2:6 @ Therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns; and I will build a wall against her, so that she cannot find her paths.
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:2:8 @ And she did not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the wine, and the oil, and who lavished upon her silver and gold which they used for Ba'al.
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:2:11 @ And I will put an end to all her mirth, her feasts, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her appointed feasts.
rsv@Hosea:2:12 @ 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:2:14 @ "Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
rsv@Hosea:2:15 @ And there I will give her her vineyards, and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth, as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.
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:2:17 @ For I will remove the names of the Ba'als from her mouth, and they shall be mentioned by name no more.
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:2:22 @ and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel;
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:3:3 @ 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:3:4 @ For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or teraphim.
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:4:2 @ there is swearing, lying, killing, stealing, and committing adultery; they break all bounds and murder follows murder.
rsv@Hosea:4:3 @ Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it languish, and also the beasts of the field, and the birds of the air; and even the fish of the sea are taken away.
rsv@Hosea:4:5 @ You shall stumble by day, the prophet also shall stumble with you by night; and I will destroy your mother.
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:4:9 @ And it shall be like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways, and requite them for their deeds.
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:4:14 @ 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:4:19 @ A wind has wrapped them in its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their altars.
rsv@Hosea:5:2 @ And they have made deep the pit of Shittim; but I will chastise all of them.
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:5:7 @ 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:5:9 @ E'phraim shall become a desolation in the day of punishment; among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.
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: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:6:4 @ 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:6:7 @ But at Adam they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with me.
rsv@Hosea:6:11 @ For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed. When I would restore the fortunes of my people,
rsv@Hosea:7:1 @ when I would heal Israel, the corruption of E'phraim is revealed, and the wicked deeds of Sama'ria; for they deal falsely, the thief breaks in, and the bandits raid without.
rsv@Hosea:7:2 @ But they do not consider that I remember all their evil works. Now their deeds encompass them, they are before my face.
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:7:6 @ For like an oven their hearts burn with intrigue; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
rsv@Hosea:7:7 @ All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings have fallen; and none of them calls upon me.
rsv@Hosea:7:9 @ Aliens devour his strength, and he knows it not; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and he knows it not.
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:7:15 @ Although I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devise evil 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:8:3 @ Israel has spurned the good; the enemy shall pursue him.
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:8:6 @ 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:8:8 @ 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:8:10 @ Though they hire allies among the nations, I will soon gather them up. And they shall cease for a little while from anointing king and princes.
rsv@Hosea:8:11 @ Because E'phraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they have become to him altars for sinning.
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:8:14 @ For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour his strongholds.
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:9:6 @ 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:9:7 @ The days of punishment have come, the days of recompense have come; Israel shall know it. The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is mad, because of your great iniquity and great hatred.
rsv@Hosea:9:8 @ The prophet is the watchman of E'phraim, the people of my God, yet a fowler's snare is on all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
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:9:15 @ 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:9:17 @ My God will cast them off, because they have not hearkened to him; they shall be wanderers among the nations.
rsv@Hosea:10:1 @ Israel is a luxuriant vine that yields its fruit. The more his fruit increased the more altars he built; as his country improved he improved his pillars.
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:10:5 @ 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:10:6 @ 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:10:7 @ Sama'ria's king shall perish, like a chip on the face of the waters.
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:10:9 @ From the days of Gib'e-ah, you have sinned, O Israel; there they have continued. Shall not war overtake them in Gib'e-ah?
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:10:12 @ 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:10:14 @ therefore the tumult of war shall arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-ar'bel on the day of battle; mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.
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:11:1 @ When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
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:11:5 @ They shall return to the land of Egypt, and Assyria shall be their king, because they have refused to return to me.
rsv@Hosea:11:6 @ The sword shall rage against their cities, consume the bars of their gates, and devour them in their fortresses.
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:11:10 @ 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:12:6 @ "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:12:8 @ E'phraim has said, "Ah, but I am rich, I have gained wealth for myself": but all his riches can never offset the guilt he has incurred.
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:13:1 @ When E'phraim spoke, men trembled; he was exalted in Israel; but he incurred guilt through Ba'al and died.
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:13:3 @ 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:13:8 @ I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will tear open their breast, and there I will devour them like a lion, as a wild beast would rend them.
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:13:14 @ Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol? Shall I redeem them from Death? O Death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your destruction? Compassion is hid from my eyes.
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:13:16 @ Sama'ria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
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:14:4 @ 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:14:6 @ his shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like the olive, and his fragrance like Lebanon.
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:14:9 @ 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:1:2 @ Hear this, you aged men, give ear, all inhabitants of the land! Has such a thing happened in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
rsv@Joel:1:5 @ Awake, you drunkards, and weep; and wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it is cut off from your mouth.
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:1:12 @ The vine withers, the fig tree languishes. Pomegranate, palm, and apple, all the trees of the field are withered; and gladness fails from the sons of men.
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:1:19 @ 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:2:6 @ Before them peoples are in anguish, all faces grow pale.
rsv@Joel:2:7 @ Like warriors they charge, like soldiers they scale the wall. They march each on his way, they do not swerve from their paths.
rsv@Joel:2:8 @ They do not jostle one another, each marches in his path; they burst through the weapons and are not halted.
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:2:14 @ 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:2:24 @ "The threshing floors shall be full of grain, the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

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,
