Hosea:1:5"
@On that day I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel."
nasb@Hosea:1:6 @Then she conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. And the LORD said to him, "Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I would ever forgive them.
nasb@Hosea:1:7" @But I will have compassion on the house of Judah and deliver them by the LORD their God, and will not deliver them by bow, sword, battle, horses or horsemen."
nasb@Hosea:2:1 @And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel will be gathered together, And they will appoint for themselves one leader, And they will go up from the land, For great will be the day of Jezreel.
nasb@Hosea:2:5" @For their mother has played the harlot; She who 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.'
nasb@Hosea:2:6" @Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, And I will build a wall against her so that she cannot find her paths.
nasb@Hosea:2:8" @For she does not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the new wine and the oil, And lavished on her silver and gold, Which they used for Baal.
nasb@Hosea:2:9" @Therefore, I will take back My grain at harvest time And My new wine in its season. I will also take away My wool and My flax Given to cover her nakedness.
nasb@Hosea:2:11" @I will also put an end to all her gaiety, Her feasts, her new moons, her sabbaths And all her festal assemblies.
nasb@Hosea:2:13" @I will punish her for the days of the Baals When she used to offer sacrifices to them And adorn herself with her earrings and jewelry, And follow her lovers, so that she forgot Me," declares the LORD.
nasb@Hosea:2:16" @It will come about in that day," declares the LORD, "That you will call Me Ishi And will no longer call Me Baali.
nasb@Hosea:2:17" @For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, So that they will be mentioned by their names no more.
nasb@Hosea:2:18" @In that day I will also make a covenant for them With the beasts of the field, The birds of the sky And the creeping things of the ground. And I will abolish the bow, the sword and war from the land, And will make them lie down in safety.
nasb@Hosea:2:21" @It will come about in that day that I will respond," declares the LORD. "I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth,
nasb@Hosea:4:2 @There is swearing, deception, murder, stealing and adultery. They employ violence, so that bloodshed follows bloodshed.
nasb@Hosea:4:10 @They will eat, but not have enough; They will play the harlot, but not increase, Because they have stopped giving heed to the LORD.
nasb@Hosea:4:15 @Though you, Israel, play the harlot, Do not let Judah become guilty; Also do not go to Gilgal, Or go up to Beth-aven And take the oath- "As the LORD lives!"
nasb@Hosea:5:1 @Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Listen, O house of the king! For the judgment applies to you, For you have been a snare at Mizpah And a net spread out on Tabor.
nasb@Hosea:5:7 @They have dealt treacherously against the LORD, For they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their land.
nasb@Hosea:5:8 @Blow the horn in Gibeah, The trumpet in Ramah. Sound an alarm at Beth-aven- " Behind you, Benjamin!"
nasb@Hosea:5:9 @Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.
nasb@Hosea:5:10 @The princes of Judah have become like those who move a boundary; On them I will pour out My wrath like water.
nasb@Hosea:5:2" @He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, That we may live before Him.
nasb@Hosea:5:3" @So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth."
nasb@Hosea:5:4 @What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning cloud And like the dew which goes away early.
nasb@Hosea:5:5 @Therefore I have hewn them in pieces by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth; And the judgments on you are like the light that goes forth.
nasb@Hosea:5:6 @For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice, And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
nasb@Hosea:6:2 @And they do not consider in their hearts That I remember all their wickedness. Now their deeds are all around them; They are before My face.
nasb@Hosea:6:4 @They are all adulterers, Like an oven heated by the baker Who ceases to stir up the fire From the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
nasb@Hosea:6:5 @On the day of our king, the princes became sick with the heat of wine; He stretched out his hand with scoffers,
nasb@Hosea:6:8 @Ephraim mixes himself with the nations; Ephraim has become a cake not turned.
nasb@Hosea:6:12 @When they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them in accordance with the proclamation to their assembly.
nasb@Hosea:7:4 @They have set up kings, but not by Me; They have appointed princes, but I did not know it. With their silver and gold they have made idols for themselves, That they might be cut off.
nasb@Hosea:7:8 @Israel is swallowed up; They are now among the nations Like a vessel in which no one delights.
nasb@Hosea:7:10 @Even though they hire allies among the nations, Now I will gather them up; And they will begin to diminish Because of the burden of the king of princes.
nasb@Hosea:7:13 @As for My sacrificial gifts, They sacrifice the flesh and eat it, But the LORD has taken no delight in them. Now He will remember their iniquity, And punish them for their sins; They will return to Egypt.
nasb@Hosea:7:14 @For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; And Judah has multiplied fortified cities, But I will send a fire on its cities that it may consume its palatial dwellings.
nasb@Hosea:8:1 @Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation like the nations! For you have played the harlot, forsaking your God. You have loved harlots' earnings on every threshing floor.
nasb@Hosea:8:3 @They will not remain in the LORD'S land, But Ephraim will return to Egypt, And in Assyria they will eat unclean food.
nasb@Hosea:8:4 @They will not pour out drink offerings of wine to the LORD, Their sacrifices will not please Him. Their bread will be like mourners' bread; All who eat of it will be defiled, For their bread will be for themselves alone; It will not enter the house of the LORD.
nasb@Hosea:8:5 @What will you do on the day of the appointed festival And on the day of the feast of the LORD?
nasb@Hosea:8:6 @For behold, they will go because of destruction; Egypt will gather them up, Memphis will bury them. Weeds will take over their treasures of silver; Thorns will be in their tents.
nasb@Hosea:8:7 @The days of punishment have come, The days of retribution have come; Let Israel know this! The prophet is a fool, The inspired man is demented, Because of the grossness of your iniquity, And because your hostility is so great.
nasb@Hosea:8:8 @Ephraim was a watchman with my God, a prophet; Yet the snare of a bird catcher is in all his ways, And there is only hostility in the house of his God.
nasb@Hosea:8:10 @I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season. But they came to Baal-peor and devoted themselves to shame, And they became as detestable as that which they loved.
nasb@Hosea:8:14 @Give them, O LORD--what will You give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
nasb@Hosea:8:15 @All their evil is at Gilgal; Indeed, I came to hate them there! 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.
nasb@Hosea:8:17 @My God will cast them away Because they have not listened to Him; And they will be wanderers among the nations.
nasb@Hosea:9:3 @Surely now they will say, "We have no king, For we do not revere the LORD. As for the king, what can he do for us?"
nasb@Hosea:9:4 @They speak mere words, With worthless oaths they make covenants; And judgment sprouts like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
nasb@Hosea:9:5 @The inhabitants of Samaria will fear For the calf of Beth-aven. Indeed, its people will mourn for it, And its idolatrous priests will cry out over it, Over its glory, since it has departed from it.
nasb@Hosea:9:7 @Samaria will be cut off with her king Like a stick on the surface of the water.
nasb@Hosea:9:9 @From the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel; There they stand! Will not the battle against the sons of iniquity overtake them in Gibeah?
nasb@Hosea:9:10 @When it is My desire, I will chastise them; And the peoples will be gathered against them When they are bound for their double guilt.
nasb@Hosea:9:11 @Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh, But I will come over her fair neck with a yoke; I will harness Ephraim, Judah will plow, Jacob will harrow for himself.
nasb@Hosea:9:13 @You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped injustice, You have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your way, in your numerous warriors,
nasb@Hosea:9:14 @Therefore a tumult will arise among your people, And all your fortresses will be destroyed, As Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle, When mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.
nasb@Hosea:9:15 @Thus it will be done to you at Bethel because of your great wickedness. At dawn the king of Israel will be completely cut off.
nasb@Hosea:10:3 @Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them in My arms; But they did not know that I healed them.
nasb@Hosea:10:6 @The sword will whirl against their cities, And will demolish their gate bars And consume them because of their counsels.
nasb@Hosea:10:7 @So My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call them to the One on high, None at all exalts Him.
nasb@Hosea:10:8 @How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I surrender you, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned over within Me, All My compassions are kindled.
nasb@Hosea:10:9 @I will not execute My fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, And I will not come in wrath.
nasb@Hosea:11:3 @In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And in his maturity he contended with God.
nasb@Hosea:11:4 @Yes, he wrestled with the angel and prevailed; He wept and sought His favor. He found Him at Bethel And there He spoke with us,
nasb@Hosea:12:6 @As they had their pasture, they became satisfied, And being satisfied, their heart became proud; Therefore they forgot Me.
nasb@Hosea:12:9 @It is your destruction, O Israel, That you are against Me, against your help.
nasb@Hosea:12:10 @Where now is your king That he may save you in all your cities, And your judges of whom you requested, "Give me a king and princes"?
nasb@Hosea:12:11 @I gave you a king in My anger And took him away in My wrath.
nasb@Hosea:12:13 @The pains of childbirth come upon him; He is not a wise son, For it is not the time that he should delay at the opening of the womb.
nasb@Hosea:12:14 @Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol? Shall I redeem them from death? O Death, where are your thorns? O Sheol, where is your sting? Compassion will be hidden from My sight.
nasb@Hosea:13:2 @Take words with you and return to the LORD. Say to Him, " Take away all iniquity And receive us graciously, That we may present the fruit of our lips.
nasb@Hosea:13:8 @O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like a luxuriant cypress; From Me comes your fruit.
nasb@Joel:1:1 @The word of the LORD that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel-
nasb@Joel:1:2 @Hear this, O elders, And listen, all inhabitants of the land. Has anything like this happened in your days Or in your fathers' days?
nasb@Joel:1:3 @Tell your sons about it, And let your sons tell their sons, And their sons the next generation.
nasb@Joel:1:4 @What the gnawing locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; And what the swarming locust has left, the creeping locust has eaten; And what the creeping locust has left, the stripping locust has eaten.
nasb@Joel:1:5 @Awake, drunkards, and weep; And wail, all you wine drinkers, On account of the sweet wine That is cut off from your mouth.
nasb@Joel:1:6 @For a nation has invaded my land, Mighty and without number; Its teeth are the teeth of a lion, And it has the fangs of a lioness.
nasb@Joel:1:11 @Be ashamed, O farmers, Wail, O vinedressers, For the wheat and the barley; Because the harvest of the field is destroyed.
nasb@Joel:1:12 @The vine dries up And the fig tree fails; The pomegranate, the palm also, and the apple tree, All the trees of the field dry up. Indeed, rejoicing dries up From the sons of men.
nasb@Joel:1:14 @Consecrate a fast, Proclaim a solemn assembly; Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land To the house of the LORD your God, And cry out to the LORD.
nasb@Joel:1:17 @The seeds shrivel under their clods; The storehouses are desolate, The barns are torn down, For the grain is dried up.
nasb@Joel:1:18 @How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle wander aimlessly Because there is no pasture for them; Even the flocks of sheep suffer.
nasb@Joel:1:20 @Even the beasts of the field pant for You; For the water brooks are dried up And fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
nasb@Joel:2:2 @A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn is spread over the mountains, So there is a great and mighty people; There has never been anything like it, Nor will there be again after it To the years of many generations.
nasb@Joel:2:3 @A fire consumes before them And behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them But a desolate wilderness behind them, And nothing at all escapes them.
nasb@Joel:2:5 @With a noise as of chariots They leap on the tops of the mountains, Like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble, Like a mighty people arranged for battle.
nasb@Joel:2:7 @They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like soldiers; And they each march in line, Nor do they deviate from their paths.
nasb@Joel:2:8 @They do not crowd each other, They march everyone in his path; When they burst through the defenses, They do not break ranks.
nasb@Joel:2:11 @The LORD utters His voice before His army; Surely His camp is very great, For strong is he who carries out His word. The day of the LORD is indeed great and very awesome, And who can endure it?
nasb@Joel:2:13 @And rend your heart and not your garments." Now return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness And relenting of evil.
nasb@Joel:2:15 @Blow a trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly,
nasb@Joel:2:16 @Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and the nursing infants. Let the bridegroom come out of his room And the bride out of her bridal chamber.
nasb@Joel:2:17 @Let the priests, the LORD'S ministers, Weep between the porch and the altar, And let them say, " Spare Your people, O LORD, And do not make Your inheritance a reproach, A byword among the nations. Why should they among the peoples say, ' Where is their God?'"
nasb@Joel:2:19 @The LORD will answer and say to His people, "Behold, I am going to send you grain, new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied in full with them; And I will never again make you a reproach among the nations.
nasb@Joel:2:20" @But I will remove the northern army far from you, And I will drive it into a parched and desolate land, And its vanguard into the eastern sea, And its rear guard into the western sea. And its stench will arise and its foul smell will come up, For it has done great things."
nasb@Joel:2:21 @Do not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad, For the LORD has done great things.
nasb@Joel:2:23 @So rejoice, O sons of Zion, And be glad in the LORD your God; For He has given you the early rain for your vindication. And He has poured down for you the rain, The early and latter rain as before.
nasb@Joel:2:24 @The threshing floors will be full of grain, And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil.
nasb@Joel:2:25" @Then I will make up to you for the years That the swarming locust has eaten, The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust, My great army which I sent among you.
nasb@Joel:2:26" @You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied And praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; Then My people will never be put to shame.
nasb@Joel:2:27" @Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the LORD your God, And there is no other; And My people will never be put to shame.
nasb@Joel:2:28" @ It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions.
nasb@Joel:2:31" @The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.
nasb@Joel:2:32" @And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LORD Will be delivered; For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem There will be those who escape, As the LORD has said, Even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.
nasb@Joel:3:1" @For behold, in those days and at that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
nasb@Joel:3:2 @I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; And they have divided up My land.
nasb@Joel:3:3" @They have also cast lots for My people, Traded a boy for a harlot And sold a girl for wine that they may drink.
nasb@Joel:3:4" @Moreover, what are you to Me, O Tyre, Sidon and all the regions of Philistia? Are you rendering Me a recompense? But if you do recompense Me, swiftly and speedily I will return your recompense on your head.
nasb@Joel:3:8" @Also I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a distant nation," for the LORD has spoken.
nasb@Joel:3:9 @Proclaim this among the nations- Prepare a war; rouse the mighty men! Let all the soldiers draw near, let them come up!
nasb@Joel:3:10 @Beat your plowshares into swords And your pruning hooks into spears; Let the weak say, "I am a mighty man."
nasb@Joel:3:11 @Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, And gather yourselves there. Bring down, O LORD, Your mighty ones.
nasb@Joel:3:12 @Let the nations be aroused And come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I will sit to judge All the surrounding nations.
nasb@Joel:3:13 @Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the wine press is full; The vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.
nasb@Joel:3:17 @Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. So Jerusalem will be holy, And strangers will pass through it no more.
nasb@Joel:3:18 @And in that day The mountains will drip with sweet wine, And the hills will flow with milk, And all the brooks of Judah will flow with water; And a spring will go out from the house of the LORD To water the valley of Shittim.
nasb@Joel:3:19 @Egypt will become a waste, And Edom will become a desolate wilderness, Because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, In whose land they have shed innocent blood.
nasb@Joel:3:20 @But Judah will be inhabited forever And Jerusalem for all generations.
nasb@Amos:1:5" @I will also break the gate bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, And him who holds the scepter, from Beth-eden; So the people of Aram will go exiled to Kir," Says the LORD.
nasb@Amos:1:6 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Gaza and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they deported an entire population To deliver it up to Edom.
nasb@Amos:1:9 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Tyre and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they delivered up an entire population to Edom And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
nasb@Amos:1:14" @So I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah And it will consume her citadels Amid war cries on the day of battle, And a storm on the day of tempest.
nasb@Amos:2:4 @Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Judah and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they rejected the law of the LORD And have not kept His statutes; Their lies also have led them astray, Those after which their fathers walked.
nasb@Amos:2:7" @These who pant after the very dust of the earth on the head of the helpless Also turn aside the way of the humble; And a man and his father resort to the same girl In order to profane My holy name.
nasb@Amos:2:10" @It was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt, And I led you in the wilderness forty years That you might take possession of the land of the Amorite.
nasb@Amos:2:13" @Behold, I am weighted down beneath you As a wagon is weighted down when filled with sheaves.
nasb@Amos:2:16" @Even the bravest among the warriors will flee naked in that day," declares the LORD.
nasb@Amos:2:5 @Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground when there is no bait in it? Does a trap spring up from the earth when it captures nothing at all?
nasb@Amos:2:9 @Proclaim on the citadels in Ashdod and on the citadels in the land of Egypt and say, "Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria and see the great tumults within her and the oppressions in her midst.
nasb@Amos:2:10" @But they do not know how to do what is right," declares the LORD, "these who hoard up violence and devastation in their citadels."
nasb@Amos:2:12 @Thus says the LORD, "Just as the shepherd snatches from the lion's mouth a couple of legs or a piece of an ear, So will the sons of Israel dwelling in Samaria be snatched away-- With the corner of a bed and the cover of a couch!
nasb@Amos:2:14" @For on the day that I punish Israel's transgressions, I will also punish the altars of Bethel; The horns of the altar will be cut off And they will fall to the ground.
nasb@Amos:2:15" @I will also smite the winter house together with the summer house; The houses of ivory will also perish And the great houses will come to an end," Declares the LORD.
nasb@Amos:3:1 @Hear this word, you cows of Bashan who are on the mountain of Samaria, Who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, Who say to your husbands, "Bring now, that we may drink!"
nasb@Amos:3:2 @The Lord GOD has sworn by His holiness, "Behold, the days are coming upon you When they will take you away with meat hooks, And the last of you with fish hooks.
nasb@Amos:3:5" @Offer a thank offering also from that which is leavened, And proclaim freewill offerings, make them known. For so you love to do, you sons of Israel," Declares the Lord GOD.
nasb@Amos:3:8" @So two or three cities would stagger to another city to drink water, But would not be satisfied; Yet you have not returned to Me," declares the LORD.
nasb@Amos:3:9" @I smote you with scorching wind and mildew; And the caterpillar was devouring Your many gardens and vineyards, fig trees and olive trees; Yet you have not returned to Me," declares the LORD.
nasb@Amos:3:11" @I overthrew you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, And you were like a firebrand snatched from a blaze; Yet you have not returned to Me," declares the LORD.
nasb@Amos:3:13 @For behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind And declares to man what are His thoughts, He who makes dawn into darkness And treads on the high places of the earth, The LORD God of hosts is His name.
nasb@Amos:4:4 @For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel, " Seek Me that you may live.
nasb@Amos:4:6" @ Seek the LORD that you may live, Or He will break forth like a fire, O house of Joseph, And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,
nasb@Amos:4:8 @He who made the Pleiades and Orion And changes deep darkness into morning, Who also darkens day into night, Who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the surface of the earth, The LORD is His name.
nasb@Amos:4:9 @It is He who flashes forth with destruction upon the strong, So that destruction comes upon the fortress.
nasb@Amos:4:10 @They hate him who reproves in the gate, And they abhor him who speaks with integrity.
nasb@Amos:4:12 @For I know your transgressions are many and your sins are great, You who distress the righteous and accept bribes And turn aside the poor in the gate.
nasb@Amos:4:13 @Therefore at such a time the prudent person keeps silent, for it is an evil time.
nasb@Amos:4:14 @Seek good and not evil, that you may live; And thus may the LORD God of hosts be with you, Just as you have said!
nasb@Amos:4:15 @Hate evil, love good, And establish justice in the gate! Perhaps the LORD God of hosts May be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
nasb@Amos:4:16 @Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, the Lord, "There is wailing in all the plazas, And in all the streets they say, 'Alas! Alas!' They also call the farmer to mourning And professional mourners to lamentation.
nasb@Amos:4:18 @Alas, you who are longing for the day of the LORD, For what purpose will the day of the LORD be to you? It will be darkness and not light;
nasb@Amos:4:21" @I hate, I reject your festivals, Nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies.
nasb@Amos:4:22" @Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings.
nasb@Amos:4:24" @But let justice roll down like waters And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
nasb@Amos:5:1 @Woe to those who are at ease in Zion And to those who feel secure in the mountain of Samaria, The distinguished men of the foremost of nations, To whom the house of Israel comes.
nasb@Amos:5:2 @Go over to Calneh and look, And go from there to Hamath the great, Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms, Or is their territory greater than yours?
nasb@Amos:5:3 @Do you put off the day of calamity, And would you bring near the seat of violence?
nasb@Amos:5:4 @Those who recline on beds of ivory And sprawl on their couches, And eat lambs from the flock And calves from the midst of the stall,
nasb@Amos:5:7 @Therefore, they will now go into exile at the head of the exiles, And the sprawlers' banqueting will pass away.
nasb@Amos:5:8 @The Lord GOD has sworn by Himself, the LORD God of hosts has declared- "I loathe the arrogance of Jacob, And detest his citadels; Therefore I will deliver up the city and all it contains."
nasb@Amos:5:10 @Then one's uncle, or his undertaker, will lift him up to carry out his bones from the house, and he will say to the one who is in the innermost part of the house, "Is anyone else with you?" And that one will say, "No one." Then he will answer, " Keep quiet. For the name of the LORD is not to be mentioned."
nasb@Amos:5:11 @For behold, the LORD is going to command that the great house be smashed to pieces and the small house to fragments.
nasb@Amos:5:14" @For behold, I am going to raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel," declares the LORD God of hosts, "And they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath To the brook of the Arabah."
nasb@Amos:6:2 @And it came about, when it had finished eating the vegetation of the land, that I said, " Lord GOD, please pardon! How can Jacob stand, For he is small?"
nasb@Amos:6:4 @Thus the Lord GOD showed me, and behold, the Lord GOD was calling to contend with them by fire, and it consumed the great deep and began to consume the farm land.
nasb@Amos:6:8 @The LORD said to me, " What do you see, Amos?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Behold I am about to put a plumb line In the midst of My people Israel. I will spare them no longer.
nasb@Amos:6:9" @The high places of Isaac will be desolated And the sanctuaries of Israel laid waste. Then I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."
nasb@Amos:6:12 @Then Amaziah said to Amos, " Go, you seer, flee away to the land of Judah and there eat bread and there do your prophesying!
nasb@Amos:6:13" @But no longer prophesy at Bethel, for it is a sanctuary of the king and a royal residence."
nasb@Amos:7:2 @He said, "What do you see, Amos?" And I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me, "The end has come for My people Israel. I will spare them no longer.
nasb@Amos:7:3" @The songs of the palace will turn to wailing in that day," declares the Lord GOD. "Many will be the corpses; in every place they will cast them forth in silence."
nasb@Amos:7:5 @saying, "When will the new moon be over, So that we may sell grain, And the sabbath, that we may open the wheat market, To make the bushel smaller and the shekel bigger, And to cheat with dishonest scales,
nasb@Amos:7:6 @So as to buy the helpless for money And the needy for a pair of sandals, And that we may sell the refuse of the wheat?"
nasb@Amos:7:9" @It will come about in that day," declares the Lord GOD, "That I will make the sun go down at noon And make the earth dark in broad daylight.
nasb@Amos:7:10" @Then I will turn your festivals into mourning And all your songs into lamentation; And I will bring sackcloth on everyone's loins And baldness on every head. And I will make it like a time of mourning for an only son, And the end of it will be like a bitter day.
nasb@Amos:7:11" @Behold, days are coming," declares the Lord GOD, "When I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water, But rather for hearing the words of the LORD.
nasb@Amos:7:13" @In that day the beautiful virgins And the young men will faint from thirst.
nasb@Amos:7:9 @I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said, "Smite the capitals so that the thresholds will shake, And break them on the heads of them all! Then I will slay the rest of them with the sword; They will not have a fugitive who will flee, Or a refugee who will escape.
nasb@Amos:7:4" @And though they go into captivity before their enemies, From there I will command the sword that it slay them, And I will set My eyes against them for evil and not for good."
nasb@Amos:7:5 @The Lord GOD of hosts, The One who touches the land so that it melts, And all those who dwell in it mourn, And all of it rises up like the Nile And subsides like the Nile of Egypt;
nasb@Amos:7:6 @The One who builds His upper chambers in the heavens And has founded His vaulted dome over the earth, He who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the face of the earth, The LORD is His name.
nasb@Amos:7:9" @For behold, I am commanding, And I will shake the house of Israel among all nations As grain is shaken in a sieve, But not a kernel will fall to the ground.
nasb@Amos:7:11" @In that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David, And wall up its breaches; I will also raise up its ruins And rebuild it as in the days of old;
nasb@Amos:7:12 @That they may possess the remnant of Edom And all the nations who are called by My name," Declares the LORD who does this.
nasb@Amos:7:14" @Also I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit.
nasb@Obadiah:0:1 @The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom-- We have heard a report from the LORD, And an envoy has been sent among the nations saying, " Arise and let us go against her for battle"--
nasb@Obadiah:0:2" @Behold, I will make you small among the nations; You are greatly despised.
nasb@Obadiah:0:5" @If thieves came to you, If robbers by night-- O how you will be ruined!-- Would they not steal only until they had enough? If grape gatherers came to you, Would they not leave some gleanings?
nasb@Obadiah:0:7" @All the men allied with you Will send you forth to the border, And the men at peace with you Will deceive you and overpower you. They who eat your bread Will set an ambush for you. (There is no understanding in him.)
nasb@Obadiah:0:8" @Will I not on that day," declares the LORD, " Destroy wise men from Edom And understanding from the mountain of Esau?
nasb@Obadiah:0:9" @Then your mighty men will be dismayed, O Teman, So that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
nasb@Obadiah:0:11" @On the day that you stood aloof, On the day that strangers carried off his wealth, And foreigners entered his gate And cast lots for Jerusalem-- You too were as one of them.
nasb@Obadiah:0:12" @ Do not gloat over your brother's day, The day of his misfortune. And do not rejoice over the sons of Judah In the day of their destruction; Yes, do not boast In the day of their distress.
nasb@Obadiah:0:13" @Do not enter the gate of My people In the day of their disaster. Yes, you, do not gloat over their calamity In the day of their disaster. And do not loot their wealth In the day of their disaster.
nasb@Obadiah:0:14" @Do not stand at the fork of the road To cut down their fugitives; And do not imprison their survivors In the day of their distress.
nasb@Obadiah:0:15" @For the day of the LORD draws near on all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your dealings will return on your own head.
nasb@Obadiah:0:16" @Because just as you drank on My holy mountain, All the nations will drink continually. They will drink and swallow And become as if they had never existed.
nasb@Obadiah:0:18" @Then the house of Jacob will be a fire And the house of Joseph a flame; But the house of Esau will be as stubble. And they will set them on fire and consume them, So that there will be no survivor of the house of Esau," For the LORD has spoken.
nasb@Obadiah:0:20 @And the exiles of this host of the sons of Israel, Who are among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad Will possess the cities of the Negev.
nasb@Jonah:0:2" @Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me."
nasb@Jonah:0:4 @The LORD hurled a great wind on the sea and there was a great storm on the sea so that the ship was about to break up.
nasb@Jonah:0:6 @So the captain approached him and said, "How is it that you are sleeping? Get up, call on your god. Perhaps your god will be concerned about us so that we will not perish."
nasb@Jonah:0:7 @Each man said to his mate, "Come, let us cast lots so we may learn on whose account this calamity has struck us." So they cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.
nasb@Jonah:0:8 @Then they said to him, " Tell us, now! On whose account has this calamity struck us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?"
nasb@Jonah:0:10 @Then the men became extremely frightened and they said to him, "How could you do this?" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
nasb@Jonah:0:11 @So they said to him, "What should we do to you that the sea may become calm for us?"--for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy.
nasb@Jonah:0:12 @He said to them, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm for you, for I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you."
nasb@Jonah:0:13 @However, the men rowed desperately to return to land but they could not, for the sea was becoming even stormier against them.
nasb@Jonah:0:16 @Then the men feared the LORD greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.
nasb@Jonah:0:17 @And the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights.
nasb@Jonah:1:5" @ Water encompassed me to the point of death. The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head.
nasb@Jonah:1:9 @But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the LORD."
nasb@Jonah:1:2" @Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and proclaim to it the proclamation which I am going to tell you."
nasb@Jonah:1:3 @So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three days' walk.
nasb@Jonah:1:5 @Then the people of Nineveh believed in God; and they called a fast and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least of them.
nasb@Jonah:1:6 @When the word reached the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne, laid aside his robe from him, covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the ashes.
nasb@Jonah:1:7 @He issued a proclamation and it said, "In Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles- Do not let man, beast, herd, or flock taste a thing. Do not let them eat or drink water.
nasb@Jonah:1:8" @But both man and beast must be covered with sackcloth; and let men call on God earnestly that each may turn from his wicked way and from the violence which is in his hands.
nasb@Jonah:1:9" @ Who knows, God may turn and relent and withdraw His burning anger so that we will not perish."
nasb@Jonah:1:10 @When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them. And He did not do it.
nasb@Jonah:2:1 @But it greatly displeased Jonah and he became angry.
nasb@Jonah:2:2 @He prayed to the LORD and said, "Please LORD, was not this what I said while I was still in my own country? Therefore in order to forestall this I fled to Tarshish, for I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, and one who relents concerning calamity.
nasb@Jonah:2:3" @Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for death is better to me than life."
nasb@Jonah:2:5 @Then Jonah went out from the city and sat east of it. There he made a shelter for himself and sat under it in the shade until he could see what would happen in the city.
nasb@Jonah:2:7 @But God appointed a worm when dawn came the next day and it attacked the plant and it withered.
nasb@Jonah:2:8 @When the sun came up God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah's head so that he became faint and begged with all his soul to die, saying, " Death is better to me than life."
nasb@Jonah:2:9 @Then God said to Jonah, "Do you have good reason to be angry about the plant?" And he said, "I have good reason to be angry, even to death."
nasb@Jonah:2:11" @Should I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know the difference between their right and left hand, as well as many animalsNULL"
nasb@Micah:1:4 @The mountains will melt under Him And the valleys will be split, Like wax before the fire, Like water poured down a steep place.
nasb@Micah:1:5 @All this is for the rebellion of Jacob And for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the rebellion of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? What is the high place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
nasb@Micah:1:6 @For I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the open country, Planting places for a vineyard. I will pour her stones down into the valley And will lay bare her foundations.
nasb@Micah:1:7 @All of her idols will be smashed, All of her earnings will be burned with fire And all of her images I will make desolate, For she collected them from a harlot's earnings, And to the earnings of a harlot they will return.
nasb@Micah:1:9 @For her wound is incurable, For it has come to Judah; It has reached the gate of my people, Even to Jerusalem.
nasb@Micah:1:10 @Tell it not in Gath, Weep not at all. At Beth-le-aphrah roll yourself in the dust.
nasb@Micah:1:11 @Go on your way, inhabitant of Shaphir, in shameful nakedness. The inhabitant of Zaanan does not escape. The lamentation of Beth-ezel- "He will take from you its support."
nasb@Micah:1:12 @For the inhabitant of Maroth Becomes weak waiting for good, Because a calamity has come down from the LORD To the gate of Jerusalem.
nasb@Micah:1:14 @Therefore you will give parting gifts On behalf of Moresheth-gath; The houses of Achzib will become a deception To the kings of Israel.
nasb@Micah:2:4" @On that day they will take up against you a taunt And utter a bitter lamentation and say, 'We are completely destroyed! He exchanges the portion of my people; How He removes it from me! To the apostate He apportions our fields.'
nasb@Micah:2:7" @Is it being said, O house of Jacob- 'Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these His doings?' Do not My words do good To the one walking uprightly?
nasb@Micah:2:10" @Arise and go, For this is no place of rest Because of the uncleanness that brings on destruction, A painful destruction.
nasb@Micah:2:12" @I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together like sheep in the fold; Like a flock in the midst of its pasture They will be noisy with men.
nasb@Micah:2:13" @The breaker goes up before them; They break out, pass through the gate and go out by it. So their king goes on before them, And the LORD at their head."
nasb@Micah:2:2" @You who hate good and love evil, Who tear off their skin from them And their flesh from their bones,
nasb@Micah:2:3 @Who eat the flesh of my people, Strip off their skin from them, Break their bones And chop them up as for the pot And as meat in a kettle."
nasb@Micah:2:4 @Then they will cry out to the LORD, But He will not answer them. Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time Because they have practiced evil deeds.
nasb@Micah:2:6 @Therefore it will be night for you--without vision, And darkness for you--without divination. The sun will go down on the prophets, And the day will become dark over them.
nasb@Micah:2:9 @Now hear this, heads of the house of Jacob And rulers of the house of Israel, Who abhor justice And twist everything that is straight,
nasb@Micah:3:1 @And it will come about in the last days That the mountain of the house of the LORD Will be established as the chief of the mountains. It will be raised above the hills, And the peoples will stream to it.
nasb@Micah:3:2 @Many nations will come and say, " Come and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD And to the house of the God of Jacob, That He may teach us about His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For from Zion will go forth the law, Even the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
nasb@Micah:3:3 @And He will judge between many peoples And render decisions for mighty, distant nations. Then they will hammer their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they train for war.![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
