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:1:5 @ 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:1:11 @ 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:2:2 @ "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:2:5 @ 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:2:6 @ 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:2:8 @ 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:2:11 @ And I will put an end to all her mirth, her feasts, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her appointed feasts.
rsv@Hosea:2:15 @ 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:2:18 @ And I will make for you a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land; and I will make you lie down in safety.
rsv@Hosea:2:21 @ "And in that day, says the LORD, I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth;

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: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:5:8 @ 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:5:10 @ The princes of Judah have become like those who remove the landmark; upon them I will pour out my wrath like water.
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: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:6:2 @ After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.
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:6:7 @ But at Adam they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with me.
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:7:5 @ On the day of our king the princes became sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with mockers.
rsv@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up; already they are among the nations as a useless vessel.
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:8:13 @ 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:9:2 @ 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:9:14 @ 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:9:17 @ 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:10:3 @ 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:10:4 @ They utter mere words; with empty oaths they make covenants; so judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
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:10:10 @ 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:10:13 @ 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: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:11:3 @ 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:11:6 @ The sword shall rage against their cities, consume the bars of their gates, and devour them in their fortresses.
rsv@Hosea:11:8 @ How can I give you up, O E'phraim! How can I hand you over, O Israel! How can I make you like Admah! How can I treat you like Zeboi'im! My heart recoils within me, my compassion grows warm and tender.
rsv@Hosea:12:4 @ He strove with the angel and prevailed, he wept and sought his favor. He met God at Bethel, and there God spoke with him--
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:13:11 @ I have given you kings in my anger, and I have taken them away in my wrath.
rsv@Hosea:13:13 @ The pangs of childbirth come for him, but he is an unwise son; for now he does not present himself at the mouth of the womb.
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: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:14:7 @ 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@Joel:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Joel, the son of Pethu'el:
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:1:3 @ Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

rsv@Joel:1:11 @ Be confounded, O tillers of the soil, wail, O vinedressers, for the wheat and the barley; because the harvest of the field has perished.

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:2:2 @ 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:2:3 @ Fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them, but after them a desolate wilderness, and nothing escapes them.
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:2:7 @ 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:2:11 @ 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:2:17 @ 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@Amos:9:11 @ "In that day I will raise up the booth of David that is fallen and repair its breaches, and raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old;
rsv@Amos:9:12 @ that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name," says the LORD who does this.
rsv@Amos:9:14 @ I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.
rsv@Obadiah:1:1 @ The vision of Obadi'ah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from the LORD, and a messenger has been sent among the nations: "Rise up! let us rise against her for battle!"
rsv@Obadiah:1:2 @ Behold, I will make you small among the nations, you shall be utterly despised.
rsv@Obadiah:1:5 @ If thieves came to you, if plunderers by night--how you have been destroyed!--would they not steal only enough for themselves? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings?
rsv@Obadiah:1:7 @ All your allies have deceived you, they have driven you to the border; your confederates have prevailed against you; your trusted friends have set a trap under you-- there is no understanding of it.
rsv@Obadiah:1:8 @ Will I not on that day, says the LORD, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau?
rsv@Obadiah:1:9 @ And your mighty men shall be dismayed, O Teman, so that every man from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter.
rsv@Obadiah:1:11 @ On the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried off his wealth, and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them.
rsv@Obadiah:1:12 @ But you should not have gloated over the day of your brother in the day of his misfortune; you should not have rejoiced over the people of Judah in the day of their ruin; you should not have boasted in the day of distress.
rsv@Obadiah:1:13 @ You should not have entered the gate of my people in the day of his calamity; you should not have gloated over his disaster in the day of his calamity; you should not have looted his goods in the day of his calamity.
rsv@Obadiah:1:14 @ You should not have stood at the parting of the ways to cut off his fugitives; you should not have delivered up his survivors in the day of distress.
rsv@Obadiah:1:15 @ For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you, your deeds shall return on your own head.
rsv@Obadiah:1:16 @ For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, all the nations round about shall drink; they shall drink, and stagger, and shall be as though they had not been.
rsv@Obadiah:1:17 @ But in Mount Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
rsv@Obadiah:1:20 @ The exiles in Halah who are of the people of Israel shall possess Phoenicia as far as Zar'ephath; and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sephar'ad shall possess the cities of the Negeb.
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:1:4 @ 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:1:10 @ 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:1:17 @ 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:2:5 @ The waters closed in over me, the deep was round about me; weeds were wrapped about my head
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:2:9 @ 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: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:3:5 @ 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:3:6 @ Then tidings reached the king of Nin'eveh, and he arose from his throne, removed his robe, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
rsv@Jonah:3:7 @ And he made proclamation and published through Nin'eveh, "By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, or drink water,
rsv@Jonah:3:9 @ Who knows, God may yet repent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we perish not?"
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:4:5 @ 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:4:7 @ But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm which attacked the plant, so that it withered.
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:4:11 @ And should not I pity Nin'eveh, that great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?"
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:1:2 @ Hear, you peoples, all of you; hearken, O earth, and all that is in it; and let the Lord GOD be a witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
rsv@Micah:1:4 @ And the mountains will melt under him and the valleys will be cleft, like wax before the fire, like waters poured down a steep place.
rsv@Micah:1:5 @ All this is for the transgression of Jacob and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Sama'ria? And what is the sin of the house of Judah? Is it not 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.
rsv@Micah:1:8 @ For this I will lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will make lamentation like the jackals, and mourning like the ostriches.
rsv@Micah:1:9 @ For her wound is incurable; and it has come to Judah, it has reached to the gate of my people, to Jerusalem.
rsv@Micah:1:10 @ Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all; in Beth-le-aph'rah roll yourselves in the dust.
rsv@Micah:1:12 @ For the inhabitants of Maroth wait anxiously for good, because evil has come down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.
rsv@Micah:1:14 @ Therefore you shall give parting gifts to Mo'resheth-gath; the houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
rsv@Micah:2:4 @ In that day they shall take up a taunt song against you, and wail with bitter lamentation, and say, "We are utterly ruined; he changes the portion of my people; how he removes it from me! Among our captors he divides our fields."
rsv@Micah:2:7 @ Should this be said, O house of Jacob? Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly?
rsv@Micah:2:10 @ Arise and go, for this is no place to rest; because of uncleanness that destroys with a grievous destruction.
rsv@Micah:2:12 @ I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob, I will gather the remnant of Israel; I will set them together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in its pasture, a noisy multitude of men.
rsv@Micah:2:13 @ He who opens the breach will go up before them; they will break through and pass the gate, going out by it. Their king will pass on before them, the LORD at their head.
rsv@Micah:3:2 @ you who hate the good and love the evil, who tear the skin from off my people, and their flesh from off their bones;
rsv@Micah:3:3 @ who eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones in pieces, and chop them up like meat in a kettle, like flesh in a caldron.
rsv@Micah:3:4 @ Then they will cry to the LORD, but he will not answer them; he will hide his face from them at that time, because they have made their deeds evil.
rsv@Micah:3:5 @ Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who lead my people astray, who cry "Peace" when they have something to eat, but declare war against him who puts nothing into their mouths.
rsv@Micah:3:6 @ Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision, and darkness to you, without divination. The sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them;
rsv@Micah:4:1 @ It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it,
rsv@Micah:4:2 @ and many nations shall come, and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and we may walk in his paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
rsv@Micah:4:3 @ He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide for strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more;
rsv@Micah:4:6 @ In that day, says the LORD, I will assemble the lame and gather those who have been driven away, and those whom I have afflicted;
rsv@Micah:4:7 @ and the lame I will make the remnant; and those who were cast off, a strong nation; and the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion from this time forth and for evermore.
rsv@Micah:4:9 @ Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pangs have seized you like a woman in travail?
rsv@Micah:4:11 @ Now many nations are assembled against you, saying, "Let her be profaned, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion."
rsv@Micah:4:12 @ But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD, they do not understand his plan, that he has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor.
rsv@Micah:4:13 @ Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron and your hoofs bronze; you shall beat in pieces many peoples, and shall devote their gain to the LORD, their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.
rsv@Micah:5:2 @ But you, O Bethlehem Eph'rathah, who are little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days.
rsv@Micah:5:4 @ And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth.
rsv@Micah:5:5 @ And this shall be peace, when the Assyrian comes into our land and treads upon our soil, that we will raise against him seven shepherds and eight princes of men;
rsv@Micah:5:8 @ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep, which, when it goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
rsv@Micah:5:10 @ And in that day, says the LORD, I will cut off your horses from among you and will destroy your chariots;
rsv@Micah:5:15 @ And in anger and wrath I will execute vengeance upon the nations that did not obey.
rsv@Micah:6:1 @ Hear what the LORD says: Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
rsv@Micah:6:2 @ Hear, you mountains, the controversy of the LORD, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
rsv@Micah:6:3 @ "O my people, what have I done to you? In what have I wearied you? Answer me!
rsv@Micah:6:5 @ O my people, remember what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Be'or answered him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the saving acts of the LORD."![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
