Hosea:1:6 @And after that she gave birth to a daughter. And the Lord said, Give her the name Lo-ruhamah; for I will not again have mercy on Israel, to give them forgiveness.
bbe@Hosea:1:7 @But I will have mercy on Judah and will give them salvation by the Lord their God, but not by the bow or the sword or by fighting or by horses or horsemen.
bbe@Hosea:2:4 @And I will have no mercy on her children, for they are the children of her loose ways.
bbe@Hosea:2:9 @So I will take away again my grain in its time and my wine, and I will take away my wool and my linen with which her body might have been covered.
bbe@Hosea:2:12 @And I will make waste her vines and her fig-trees, of which she has said, These are the payments which my lovers have made to me; and I will make them a waste of trees, and the beasts of the field will take them for food.
bbe@Hosea:2:20 @I will take you as my bride in good faith, and you will have knowledge of the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:2:23 @And I will put her as seed in the earth, and I will have mercy on her to whom no mercy was given; and I will say to those who were not my people, You are my people, and they will say, My God.
bbe@Hosea:3:3 @And I said to her, You are to be mine for a long space of time; you are not to be false to me, and no other man is to have you for his wife; and so will I be to you.
bbe@Hosea:4:6 @Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory.
bbe@Hosea:4:10 @They will have food, but they will not be full; they will be false to me, but they will not be increased, because they no longer give thought to the Lord
bbe@Hosea:4:12 @My people get knowledge from their tree, and their rod gives them news; for a false spirit is the cause of their wandering, and they have been false to their God.
bbe@Hosea:4:14 @I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away.
bbe@Hosea:5:1 @Give ear to this, O priests; give attention, O Israel, and you, family of the king; for you are to be judged; you have been a deceit at Mizpah and a net stretched out on Tabor.
bbe@Hosea:5:2 @They have gone deep in the evil ways of Shittim, but I am the judge of all.
bbe@Hosea:5:3 @I have knowledge of Ephraim, and Israel is not secret from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have been false to me, Israel has become unclean.
bbe@Hosea:5:4 @Their works will not let them come back to their God, for a false spirit is in them and they have no knowledge of the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:5:5 @And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; and Ephraim will have a fall through his sins, and the fall of Judah will be the same as theirs.
bbe@Hosea:5:7 @They have been false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.
bbe@Hosea:5:9 @Ephraim will become a waste in the day of punishment; I have given knowledge among the tribes of Israel of what is certain.
bbe@Hosea:6:3 @And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.
bbe@Hosea:6:5 @So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;
bbe@Hosea:6:7 @But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.
bbe@Hosea:6:10 @In Israel I have seen a very evil thing; there false ways are seen in Ephraim, Israel is unclean;
bbe@Hosea:7:6 @For they have made their hearts ready like an oven, while they are waiting secretly; their wrath is sleeping all night; in the morning it is burning like a flaming fire.
bbe@Hosea:7:7 @They are all heated like an oven, and they put an end to their judges; all their kings have been made low; not one among them makes prayer to me.
bbe@Hosea:7:9 @Men from other lands have made waste his strength, and he is not conscious of it; grey hairs have come on him here and there, and he has no knowledge of it.
bbe@Hosea:7:10 @And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; but for all this, they have not gone back to the Lord their God, or made search for him.
bbe@Hosea:7:13 @May trouble be theirs! for they have gone far away from me; and destruction, for they have been sinning against me; I was ready to be their saviour, but they said false words against me.
bbe@Hosea:7:14 @And they have not made prayer to me in their hearts, but they make loud cries on their beds; they are cutting themselves for food and wine, they are turned against me.
bbe@Hosea:7:15 @Though I have given training and strength to their arms, they have evil designs against me.
bbe@Hosea:7:16 @They have gone to what is of no value; they are like a false bow; their captains will come to destruction by the sword, and their ruler by my wrath; for this, the land of Egypt will make sport of them
bbe@Hosea:8:1 @Put the horn to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of the Lord; because they have gone against my agreement, they have not kept my law.
bbe@Hosea:8:2 @They will send up to me a cry for help: We, Israel, have knowledge of you, O God of Israel.
bbe@Hosea:8:4 @They have put up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, but I had no knowledge of it; they have made images of silver and gold, so that they may be cut off.
bbe@Hosea:8:5 @I will have nothing to do with your young ox, O Samaria; my wrath is burning against them; how long will it be before the children of Israel make themselves clean?
bbe@Hosea:8:7 @For they have been planting the wind, and their fruit will be the storm; his grain has no stem, it will give no meal, and if it does, a strange nation will take it.
bbe@Hosea:8:9 @For they have gone up to Assyria like an ass going by himself; Ephraim has given money to get lovers.
bbe@Hosea:8:11 @Because Ephraim has been increasing altars for sin, altars have become a cause of sin to him.
bbe@Hosea:9:1 @Have no joy, O Israel, and do not be glad like the nations; for you have been untrue to your God; your desire has been for the loose woman's reward on every grain-floor.
bbe@Hosea:9:3 @They will have no resting-place in the Lord's land, but Ephraim will go back to Egypt, and they will take unclean food in Assyria.
bbe@Hosea:9:9 @They have gone deep in evil as in the days of Gibeah; he will keep in mind their wrongdoing, he will give them punishment for their sins.
bbe@Hosea:9:12 @Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away, so that not a man will be there; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it.
bbe@Hosea:9:13 @As I have seen a beast whose young have been taken from her, so Ephraim will give birth to children only for them to be put to death.
bbe@Hosea:9:16 @The rod has come on Ephraim, their root is dry, let them have no fruit; even though they give birth, I will put to death the dearest fruit of their bodies.
bbe@Hosea:10:1 @Israel is a branching vine, full of fruit; as his fruit is increased, so the number of his altars is increased; as the land is fair, so they have made fair pillars.
bbe@Hosea:10:2 @Their mind is taken away; now they will be made waste: he will have their altars broken down, he will give their pillars to destruction.
bbe@Hosea:10:3 @Now, truly, they will say, We have no king, we have no fear of the Lord; and the king, what is he able to do for us?
bbe@Hosea:10:5 @The people of Samaria will be full of fear because of the ox of Beth-aven; its people will have sorrow for it, and its priests will give cries of grief for its glory, for the glory has gone in flight.
bbe@Hosea:10:9 @O Israel, you have done evil from the days of Gibeah; there they took up their position, so that the fighting against the children of evil might not overtake them in Gibeah
bbe@Hosea:10:11 @And Ephraim is a trained cow, taking pleasure in crushing the grain; but I have put a yoke on her fair neck; I will put a horseman on the back of Ephraim; Judah will be working the plough, Jacob will be turning up the earth.
bbe@Hosea:10:13 @You have been ploughing sin, you have got in a store of evil, the fruit of deceit has been your food: for you put faith in your way, in the number of your men of war.
bbe@Hosea:12:8 @And Ephraim said, Now I have got wealth and much property; in all my works no sin may be seen in me.
bbe@Hosea:12:14 @I have been bitterly moved to wrath by Ephraim; so that his blood will be on him, and the Lord will make his shame come back on him.
bbe@Hosea:13:2 @And now their sins are increased; they have made themselves a metal image, false gods from their silver, after their designs, all of them the work of the metal-workers; they say of them, Let them give offerings, let men give kisses to the oxen.
bbe@Hosea:13:4 @But I am the Lord your God, from the land of Egypt; you have knowledge of no other God and there is no saviour but me.
bbe@Hosea:13:8 @I will come face to face with them like a bear whose young ones have been taken from her, and their inmost hearts will be broken; there the dogs will make a meal of them; they will be wounded by the beasts of the field.
bbe@Hosea:13:9 @I have sent destruction on you, O Israel; who will be your helper?
bbe@Hosea:13:11 @I have given you a king, because I was angry, and have taken him away in my wrath.
bbe@Hosea:13:14 @I will give the price to make them free from the power of the underworld, I will be their saviour from death: O death! where are your pains? O underworld! where is your destruction? my eyes will have no pity.
bbe@Hosea:14:7 @They will come back and have rest in his shade; their life will be made new like the grain, and they will put out flowers like the vine; his name will be like the wine of Lebanon.
bbe@Hosea:14:8 @As for Ephraim, what has he to do with false gods any longer? I have given an answer and I will keep watch over him; I am like a branching fir-tree, from me comes your fruit.
bbe@Hosea:14:9 @He who is wise will see these things; he who has good sense will have knowledge of them. For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the upright will go in them, but sinners will be falling in them.
bbe@Joel:1:9 @The meal offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the Lord's servants, are sorrowing.
bbe@Joel:1:13 @Put haircloth round you and give yourselves to sorrow, you priests; give cries of grief, you servants of the altar: come in, and, clothed in haircloth, let the night go past, you servants of my God: for the meal offering and the drink offering have been kept back from the house of your God.
bbe@Joel:1:14 @Let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting, let the old men, even all the people of the land, come together to the house of the Lord your God, crying out to the Lord.
bbe@Joel:1:17 @The grains have become small and dry under the spade; the store-houses are made waste, the grain-stores are broken down; for the grain is dry and dead.
bbe@Joel:2:10 @The earth is troubled before them and the heavens are shaking: the sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining:
bbe@Joel:2:15 @Let a horn be sounded in Zion, let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting:
bbe@Joel:2:17 @Let the priests, the servants of the Lord, be weeping between the covered way and the altar, and let them say, Have mercy on your people, O Lord, do not give up your heritage to shame, so that the nations become their rulers: why let them say among the peoples, Where is their God?
bbe@Joel:2:21 @Have no fear, O land; be glad with great joy; for the Lord has done great things.
bbe@Joel:2:22 @Have no fear, you beasts of the field, for the grass-lands of the waste are becoming green, for the trees are producing fruit, the fig-tree and the vine give out their strength.
bbe@Joel:2:23 @Be glad, then, you children of Zion, and have joy in the Lord your God: for he gives you food in full measure, making the rain come down for you, the early and the late rain as at the first.
bbe@Joel:2:26 @You will have food in full measure, and give praise to the name of the Lord your God, who has done wonders for you:
bbe@Joel:2:28 @And after that, it will come about, says the Lord, that I will send my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, your old men will have dreams, your young men will see visions:
bbe@Joel:3:2 @I will get together all the nations, and make them come down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and there I will take up with them the cause of my people and of my heritage Israel, whom they have sent wandering among the nations, and of my land which has been parted by them.
bbe@Joel:3:3 @And they have put the fate of my people to the decision of chance: giving a boy for the price of a loose woman and a girl for a drink of wine.
bbe@Joel:3:5 @For you have taken my silver and my gold, putting in the houses of your gods my beautiful and pleasing things.
bbe@Joel:3:6 @And the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem you have given for a price to the sons of the Greeks, to send them far away from their land:
bbe@Joel:3:7 @See, I will have them moved from the place where you have sent them, and will let what you have done come back on your head;
bbe@Joel:3:15 @The sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining.
bbe@Joel:3:19 @Egypt will be a waste and Edom a land of destruction, because of the evil done to the children of Judah, because they have let blood be drained out in their land without cause.
bbe@Amos:1:3 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.
bbe@Amos:1:5 @And I will have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:1:8 @Him who is seated in power I will have cut off from Ashdod, and him in whose hand is the rod from Ashkelon; and my hand will be turned against Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will come to destruction, says the Lord God.
bbe@Amos:2:3 @And I will have the judge cut off from among them, and all their captains I will put to death with him, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:2:4 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Judah, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given up the law of the Lord, and have not kept his rules; and their false ways, in which their fathers went, have made them go out of the right way.
bbe@Amos:2:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given the upright man for silver, and the poor for the price of two shoes;
bbe@Amos:2:8 @By every altar they are stretched on clothing taken from those who are in their debt, drinking in the house of their god the wine of those who have made payment for wrongdoing.
bbe@Amos:3:2 @You only of all the families of the earth have I taken care of: for this reason I will send punishment on you for all your sins.
bbe@Amos:3:8 @The cry of the lion is sounding; who will not have fear? The Lord God has said the word; is it possible for the prophet to keep quiet?
bbe@Amos:3:10 @For they have no knowledge of how to do what is right, says the Lord, who are storing up violent acts and destruction in their great houses
bbe@Amos:4:6 @But in all your towns I have kept food from your teeth, and in all your places there has been need of bread: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:4:7 @And I have kept back the rain from you, when it was still three months before the grain-cutting: I sent rain on one town and kept it back from another: one part was rained on, and the part where there was no rain became a waste.
bbe@Amos:4:8 @So two or three towns went wandering to one town looking for water, and did not get enough: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:4:9 @I have sent destruction on your fields by burning and disease: the increase of your gardens and your vine-gardens, your fig-trees and your olive-trees, has been food for worms: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:4:10 @I have sent disease among you, as it was in Egypt: I have put your young men to the sword, and have taken away your horses; I have made the evil smell from your tents come up to your noses: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord
bbe@Amos:4:11 @And I have sent destruction among you, as when God sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick pulled out of the fire: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:5:3 @For these are the words of the Lord God: The town which was able to send out a thousand, will have only a hundred; and that which sent out a hundred, will have only ten, in Israel.
bbe@Amos:5:4 @For these are the words of the Lord to the children of Israel: Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have life:
bbe@Amos:5:6 @Go to the Lord for help so that you may have life; for fear that he may come like fire bursting out in the family of Joseph, causing destruction, and there will be no one to put it out in Beth-el.
bbe@Amos:5:10 @They have hate for him who makes protest against evil in the public place, and he whose words are upright is disgusting to them.
bbe@Amos:5:11 @So because the poor man is crushed under your feet, and you take taxes from him of grain: you have made for yourselves houses of cut stone, but you will not take your rest in them; the fair vine-gardens planted by your hands will not give you wine.
bbe@Amos:5:12 @For I have seen how your evil-doing is increased and how strong are your sins, you troublers of the upright, who take rewards and do wrong to the cause of the poor in the public place
bbe@Amos:5:15 @Be haters of evil and lovers of good, and let right be done in the public place: it may be that the Lord, the God of armies, will have mercy on the rest of Joseph.
bbe@Amos:5:21 @Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings.
bbe@Amos:5:22 @Even if you give me your burned offerings and your meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: I will have nothing to do with the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
bbe@Amos:6:1 @Sorrow to those who are resting in comfort in Zion, and to those who have no fear of danger in the mountain of Samaria, the noted men of the chief of the nations, to whom the people of Israel come!
bbe@Amos:6:6 @Drinking wine in basins, rubbing themselves with the best oils; but they have no grief for the destruction of Joseph.
bbe@Amos:6:8 @The Lord God has taken an oath by himself, says the Lord, the God of armies: the pride of Jacob is disgusting to me, and I have hate for his great houses: so I will give up the town with everything in it.
bbe@Amos:6:13 @You whose joy is in a thing of no value, who say, Have we not taken for ourselves horns by the strength which is ours?
bbe@Amos:7:2 @And it came about that after they had taken all the grass of the land, I said, O Lord God, have mercy: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.
bbe@Amos:8:8 @Will not the land be shaking with fear because of this, and everyone in it have sorrow? and all of it will be overflowing like the River; and it will be troubled and go down again like the River of Egypt.
bbe@Amos:9:7 @Are you not as the children of the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? says the Lord. Have I not taken Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Aramaeans from Kir?
bbe@Amos:9:9 @For see, I will give orders, and I will have Israel moved about among all the nations, as grain is moved about by the shaking of the tray, but not the smallest seed will be dropped on the earth.
bbe@Amos:9:12 @So that the rest of Edom may be their heritage, and all the nations who have been named by my name, says the Lord, who is doing this.
bbe@Amos:9:15 @And I will have them planted in their land, and never again will they be uprooted from their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.
bbe@Obadiah:1:1 @The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord has said about Edom: We have had word from the Lord, and a representative has been sent among the nations, saying, Up! and let us make war against her.
bbe@Obadiah:1:2 @See, I have made you small among the nations: you are much looked down on.
bbe@Obadiah:1:3 @You have been tricked by the pride of your heart, O you whose living-place is in the cracks of the rock, whose house is high up; who has said in his heart, Who will make me come down to earth?
bbe@Obadiah:1:7 @All the men who were united with you have been false to you, driving you out to the edge of the land: the men who were at peace with you have overcome you; they have taken their heritage in your place.
bbe@Obadiah:1:15 @For the day of the Lord is coming quickly on all nations: as you have done it will be done to you; the reward of your acts will come on your head.
bbe@Obadiah:1:16 @For as you have been drinking on my holy mountain, so will all the nations go on drinking without end; they will go on drinking and the wine will go down their throats, and they will be as if they had never been.
bbe@Obadiah:1:20 @And those of the children of Israel who were the first to be taken away as prisoners, will have their heritage among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath; and those who were taken away from Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will have the towns of the South.
bbe@Obadiah:1:21 @And those who have been kept safe will come up from Mount Zion to be judges of the mountain of Esau; and the kingdom will be the Lord's.
bbe@Jonah:1:10 @And the men were in great fear, and they said to him, What is this you have done? For the men had knowledge of his flight from the Lord because he had not kept it from them.
bbe@Jonah:1:14 @So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you.
bbe@Jonah:2:3 @For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.
bbe@Jonah:2:4 @And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
bbe@Jonah:2:6 @I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.
bbe@Jonah:2:8 @The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
bbe@Jonah:3:2 @Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and give it the word which I have given you.
bbe@Jonah:3:7 @And he had it given out in Nineveh, By the order of the king and his great men, no man or beast, herd or flock, is to have a taste of anything; let them have no food or water:
bbe@Jonah:4:4 @And the Lord said, Have you any right to be angry?
bbe@Jonah:4:9 @And the Lord said to Jonah, Have you any right to be angry about the vine? And he said, I have a right to be truly angry.
bbe@Jonah:4:11 @And am I not to have mercy on Nineveh, that great town, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons without the power of judging between right and left, as well as much cattle?
bbe@Micah:1:16 @Let your head be uncovered and your hair cut off in sorrow for the children of your delight: let the hair be pulled from your head like an eagle's; for they have been taken away from you as prisoners.
bbe@Micah:2:2 @They have a desire for fields and take them by force; and for houses and take them away: they are cruel to a man and his family, even to a man and his heritage.
bbe@Micah:2:4 @In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.
bbe@Micah:2:5 @For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord.
bbe@Micah:2:8 @As for you, you have become haters of those who were at peace with you: you take the clothing of those who go by without fear, and make them prisoners of war.
bbe@Micah:2:9 @The women of my people you have been driving away from their dearly loved children; from their young ones you are taking my glory for ever.
bbe@Micah:3:1 @And I said, Give ear, now, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the people of Israel: is it not for you to have knowledge of what is right?
bbe@Micah:3:4 @Then they will be crying to the Lord for help, but he will not give them an answer: yes, he will keep his face veiled from them at that time, because their acts have been evil.
bbe@Micah:3:5 @This is what the Lord has said about the prophets by whom my people have been turned from the right way; who, biting with their teeth, say, Peace; and if anyone puts nothing in their mouths they make ready for war against him.
bbe@Micah:4:3 @And he will be judge between great peoples, and strong nations far away will be ruled by his decisions; their swords will be hammered into plough-blades and their spears into vine-knives: nations will no longer be lifting up their swords against one another, and knowledge of war will have gone for ever.
bbe@Micah:4:6 @In that day, says the Lord, I will get together her who goes with uncertain steps, I will get together her who has been sent away, and her on whom I have sent evil;
bbe@Micah:4:9 @Now why are you crying so loudly? is there no king in you? has destruction come on your wise helper? so that pains have taken you like the pains of a woman in childbirth:
bbe@Micah:4:10 @Be in pain, make sounds of grief, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in childbirth: for now you will go out of the town, living in the open country, and will come even to Babylon; there you will have salvation; there the Lord will make you free from the hands of your haters
bbe@Micah:4:11 @And now a number of nations have come together against you, and they say, Let her be made unclean and let our eyes see the fate of Zion.
bbe@Micah:4:12 @But they have no knowledge of the thoughts of the Lord, their minds are not able to see his purpose: for he has got them together like stems of grain to the crushing-floor.
bbe@Micah:5:11 @I will have the towns of your land cut off and all your strong places pulled down:
bbe@Micah:5:12 @I will put an end to your use of secret arts, and you will have no more readers of signs:
bbe@Micah:5:13 @And I will have your images and your pillars cut off from you; and you will no longer give worship to the work of your hands.
bbe@Micah:5:14 @I will have your Asherahs pulled up from among you: and I will send destruction on your images.
bbe@Micah:5:15 @And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.
bbe@Micah:6:3 @O my people, what have I done to you? how have I been a weariness to you? give answer against me.
bbe@Micah:6:12 @For its men of wealth are cruel, and its people have said what is not true, and their tongue is false in their mouth.
bbe@Micah:6:13 @So I have made a start with your punishment; I have made you waste because of your sins.
bbe@Micah:6:14 @You will have food, but not enough; your shame will be ever with you: you will get your goods moved, but you will not take them away safely; and what you do take away I will give to the sword
bbe@Micah:6:15 @You will put in seed, but you will not get in the grain; you will be crushing olives, but your bodies will not be rubbed with the oil; and you will get in the grapes, but you will have no wine.
bbe@Micah:6:16 @For you have kept the laws of Omri and all the works of the family of Ahab, and you have been guided by their designs: so that I might make you a cause of wonder and your people a cause of hisses; and the shame of my people will be on you.
bbe@Micah:7:1 @Sorrow is mine! for I am as when they have got in the summer fruits, like the last of the grapes: there is nothing for food, not even an early fig for my desire.
bbe@Micah:7:19 @He will again have pity on us; he will put our sins under his feet: and you will send all our sins down into the heart of the sea.
bbe@Nahum:1:12 @This is what the Lord has said: The days of my cause against you are ended; they are cut off and past. Though I have sent trouble on you, you will no longer be troubled.
bbe@Nahum:1:14 @The Lord has given an order about you, that no more of your name are to be planted: from the house of your gods I will have the pictured and metal images cut off; I will make your last resting-place a place of shame; for you are completely evil.
bbe@Nahum:2:2 @For the Lord will make good the vine of Jacob, as well as the vine of Israel: for the wasters have made them waste and sent destruction on the branches of their vine.
bbe@Nahum:2:3 @The body-covers of his fighting men have been made red, the men of war are clothed in bright red: the war-carriages are like flames of fire in the day when he gets ready, the horses are shaking.
bbe@Nahum:2:13 @See, I am against you, says the Lord of armies, and I will have your war-carriages burned in the smoke, and your young lions will be food for the sword: you will no longer get your food by force on the earth, and the voice of your she-lions will be stopped for ever.
bbe@Nahum:3:5 @See, I am against you, says the Lord of armies, and I will have your skirts pulled over your face, and let the nations see you unclothed, and the kingdoms your shame.
bbe@Nahum:3:13 @See, the people who are in you are women; the doorways of your land are wide open to your attackers: the locks of your doors have been burned away in the fire.
bbe@Habakkuk:1:5 @See among the nations, and take note, and be full of wonder: for in your days I am doing a work in which you will have no belief, even if news of it is given to you.
bbe@Habakkuk:1:14 @He has made men like the fishes of the sea, like the worms which have no ruler over them.
bbe@Habakkuk:2:4 @As for the man of pride, my soul has no pleasure in him; but the upright man will have life through his good faith.
bbe@Habakkuk:2:8 @Because you have taken their goods from great nations, all the rest of the peoples will take your goods from you; because of men's blood and violent acts against the land and the town and all who are living in it.
bbe@Habakkuk:2:10 @You have been a cause of shame to your house by cutting off a number of peoples, and sinning against your soul.
bbe@Habakkuk:3:2 @O Lord, word of you has come to my ears; I have seen your work, O Lord; when the years come near make it clear; in wrath keep mercy in mind.
bbe@Habakkuk:3:14 @You have put your spears through his head, his horsemen were sent in flight like dry stems; they had joy in driving away the poor, in making a meal of them secretly.
bbe@Zephaniah:1:6 @And those who are turned back from going after the Lord, and those who have not made prayer to the Lord or got directions from him.
bbe@Zephaniah:1:11 @Because of the downfall of all the people of Canaan: all those who were weighted down with silver have been cut off.
bbe@Zephaniah:1:12 @And it will come about at that time, that I will go searching through Jerusalem with lights; and I will send punishment on the men who have become like wine stored over-long, who say to themselves, The Lord will not do good and will not do evil.
bbe@Zephaniah:1:17 @And I will send trouble on men so that they will go about like the blind, because they have done evil against the Lord: and their blood will be drained out like dust, and their strength like waste.
bbe@Zephaniah:2:3 @Make search for the Lord, all you quiet ones of the earth, who have done what is right in his eyes; make search for righteousness and a quiet heart: it may be that you will be safely covered in the day of the Lord's wrath.
bbe@Zephaniah:2:8 @My ears have been open to the bitter words of Moab and the words of shame of the children of Ammon, which they have said against my people, lifting themselves up against the limit of their land.
bbe@Zephaniah:2:10 @This will be their fate because of their pride, because they have said evil, lifting themselves up against the people of the Lord of armies.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:4 @Her prophets are good-for-nothing persons, full of deceit: her priests have made the holy place unclean and have gone violently against the law.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:6 @I have had the nations cut off, their towers are broken down; I have made their streets a waste so that no one goes through them: destruction has overtaken their towns, so that there is no man living in them.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:11 @In that day you will have no shame on account of all the things in which you did evil against me: for then I will take away from among you those who were lifted up in pride, and you will no longer be lifted up with pride in my holy mountain.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:12 @But I will still have among you a quiet and poor people, and they will put their faith in the name of the Lord.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:15 @The Lord has taken away those who were judging you, he has sent your haters far away: the King of Israel, even the Lord, is among you: you will have no more fear of evil.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:16 @In that day it will be said to Jerusalem, Have no fear: O Zion, let not your hands be feeble.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:19 @See, at that time I will put an end to all who have been troubling you: I will give salvation to her whose steps are uncertain, and get together her who has been sent in flight; and I will make them a cause of praise and an honoured name in all the earth, when I let their fate be changed.
bbe@Haggai:1:6 @Much has been planted, but little got in; you take food, but have not enough; you take drink, but are not full; you are clothed, but no one is warm; and he who gets payment for his work, gets it to put it into a bag full of holes.
bbe@Haggai:2:5 @The agreement which I made with you when you came out of Egypt, and my spirit, are with you still; have no fear.
bbe@Haggai:2:19 @Is the seed still in the store-house? have the vine and the fig-tree, the pomegranate and the olive-tree, still not given their fruit? from this day I will send my blessing on you.
bbe@Haggai:2:23 @In that day, says the Lord of armies, I will take you, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says the Lord, and will make you as a jewelled ring: for I have taken you to be mine, says the Lord of armies.
bbe@Zechariah:1:6 @But my words and my orders, which I gave to my servants the prophets, have they not overtaken your fathers? and turning back they said, As it was the purpose of the Lord of armies to do to us, in reward for our ways and our doings, so has he done.
bbe@Zechariah:1:11 @And the man who was between the mountains, answering, said to the angel of the Lord, We have gone up and down through the earth, and all the earth is quiet and at rest.
bbe@Zechariah:1:12 @Then the angel of the Lord, answering, said, O Lord of armies, how long will it be before you have mercy on Jerusalem and on the towns of Judah against which your wrath has been burning for seventy years?
bbe@Zechariah:1:16 @So this is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Jerusalem with mercies; my house is to be put up in her, says the Lord of armies, and a line is to be stretched out over Jerusalem.
bbe@Zechariah:1:19 @And I said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these? And he said to me, These are the horns which have sent Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem in flight.
bbe@Zechariah:1:21 @Then I said, What have these come to do? And he said, These are the horns which sent Judah in flight, and kept him from lifting up his head: but these men have come to send fear on them and to put down the nations who are lifting up their horns against the land of Judah to send it in flight.
bbe@Zechariah:2:6 @Ho, ho! go in flight from the land of the north, says the Lord: for I have sent you far and wide to the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.
bbe@Zechariah:2:8 @For this is what the Lord of armies has said: In the way of glory he has sent me to the nations which have taken your goods: for anyone touching you is touching what is most dear to him.
bbe@Zechariah:3:5 @And let them put a clean head-dress on his head. So they put a clean head-dress on his head, clothing him with clean robes: and to him he said, See, I have taken your sin away from you.
bbe@Zechariah:3:7 @These are the words of the Lord of armies: If you will go in my ways and keep what I have put in your care, then you will be judge over my Temple and have the care of my house, and I will give you the right to come in among those who are there.
bbe@Zechariah:3:9 @For see, the stone which I have put before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: see, the design cut on it will be my work, says the Lord of armies, and I will take away the sin of that land in one day.
bbe@Zechariah:4:5 @Then the angel who was talking to me, answering me, said, Have you no knowledge of what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
bbe@Zechariah:4:9 @The hands of Zerubbabel have put the base of this house in place, and his hands will make it complete; and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.
bbe@Zechariah:4:13 @And he said in answer to me, Have you no knowledge what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
bbe@Zechariah:6:8 @Then crying out to me, he said, See, those who are going to the north country have given rest to the spirit of the Lord in the north country.
bbe@Zechariah:6:10 @Take the offerings of those who went away as prisoners, from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, and from the family of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who have come from Babylon;
bbe@Zechariah:7:3 @And to say to the priests of the house of the Lord of armies and to the prophets, Am I to go on weeping in the fifth month, separating myself as I have done in past years?
bbe@Zechariah:7:9 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Let your judging be upright and done in good faith, let every man have mercy and pity for his brother:
bbe@Zechariah:8:3 @This is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Zion, and will make my living-place in Jerusalem: and Jerusalem will be named The town of good faith; and the mountain of the Lord of armies The holy mountain.
bbe@Zechariah:8:13 @And it will come about that, as you were a curse among the nations, O children of Judah and children of Israel, so I will give you salvation and you will be a blessing: have no fear and let your hands be strong.
bbe@Zechariah:8:15 @So in these days it is again my purpose to do good to Jerusalem and to the children of Judah: have no fear.
bbe@Zechariah:8:17 @Let no one have any evil thought in his heart against his neighbour; and have no love for false oaths: for all these things are hated by me, says the Lord.
bbe@Zechariah:9:6 @And a mixed people will be living in Ashdod, and I will have the pride of the Philistines cut off.
bbe@Zechariah:9:8 @And I will put my forces in position round my house, so that there may be no coming and going: and no cruel master will again go through them: for now I have seen his trouble.
bbe@Zechariah:9:10 @And he will have the war-carriage cut off from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be cut off: and he will say words of peace to the nations: and his rule will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
bbe@Zechariah:9:11 @And as for you, because of the blood of your agreement, I have sent out your prisoners from the deep hole in which there is no water.
bbe@Zechariah:9:13 @For I have made Judah a bow bent for my use, I have made Ephraim the arrows of the bow; I will make your sons, O Zion, take up arms against your sons, O Greece, and will make you like the sword of a man of war.
bbe@Zechariah:10:2 @For the images have said what is not true, and the readers of signs have seen deceit; they have given accounts of false dreams, they give comfort to no purpose: so they go out of the way like sheep, they are troubled because they have no keeper.
bbe@Zechariah:10:6 @And I will make the children of Judah strong, and I will be the saviour of the children of Joseph, and I will make them come back again, for I have had mercy on them: they will be as if I had not given them up: for I am the Lord their God and I will give them an answer.
bbe@Zechariah:10:8 @With the sound of the pipe I will get them together; for I have given the price to make them free: and they will be increased as they were increased.
bbe@Zechariah:11:2 @Give a cry of grief, O fir-tree, for the fall of the cedar, because the great ones have been made low: give cries of grief, O you oaks of Bashan, for the strong trees of the wood have come down.
bbe@Zechariah:11:5 @Whose owners put them to death and have no sense of sin; and those who get a price for them say, May the Lord be praised for I have much wealth: and the keepers of the flock have no pity for them.
bbe@Zechariah:11:6 @For I will have no more pity for the people of the land, says the Lord; but I will give up everyone into his neighbour's hand and into the hand of his king: and they will make the land waste, and I will not keep them safe from their hands.
bbe@Zechariah:11:16 @For see, I will put a sheep-keeper over the land, who will have no care for that which is cut off, and will not go in search of the wanderers, or make well what is broken, and he will not give food to that which is ill, but he will take for his food the flesh of the fat, and let their feet be broken.
bbe@Zechariah:12:5 @And the families of Judah will say in their hearts, The people of Jerusalem have their strength in the Lord of armies, their God.
bbe@Zechariah:13:2 @And it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that I will have the names of the images cut off out of the land, and there will be no more memory of them: and I will send all the prophets and the unclean spirit away from the land.
bbe@Zechariah:13:5 @But he will say, I am no prophet, but a worker on the land; for I have been an owner of land from the time when I was young.
bbe@Zechariah:14:12 @And this will be the disease which the Lord will send on all the peoples which have been warring against Jerusalem: their flesh will be wasted away while they are on their feet, their eyes will be wasted in their heads and their tongues in their mouths.
bbe@Malachi:1:2 @You have been loved by me, says the Lord. But you say, Where was your love for us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the Lord: but Jacob was loved by me,
bbe@Malachi:1:4 @Though Edom says, We are crushed down but we will come back, building up the waste places; this is what the Lord of armies has said: They may put up buildings, but I will have them pulled down; and they will be named The land of evil-doing, and The people against whom the Lord keeps his wrath for ever.
bbe@Malachi:1:6 @A son gives honour to his father, and a servant has fear of his master: if then I am a father, where is my honour? and if I am a master, where is the fear of me? says the Lord of armies to you, O priests, who give no value to my name. And you say, How have we not given value to your name?
bbe@Malachi:1:7 @You put unclean bread on my altar. And you say, How have we made it unclean? By your saying, The table of the Lord is of no value.
bbe@Malachi:1:8 @And when you give what is blind for an offering, it is no evil! and when you give what is damaged and ill, it is no evil! Give it now to your ruler; will he be pleased with you, or will you have his approval? says the Lord of armies.
bbe@Malachi:1:9 @And now, make request for the grace of God so that he may have mercy on us: this has been your doing: will he give his approval to any of you? says the Lord of armies.
bbe@Malachi:1:10 @If only there was one among you who would see that the doors were shut, so that you might not put a light to the fire on my altar for nothing! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of armies, and I will not take an offering from your hands.
bbe@Malachi:1:13 @And you say, See, what a weariness it is! and you let out your breath at it, says the Lord of armies; and you have given what has been cut about by beasts, and what is damaged in its feet and ill; this is the offering you give: will this be pleasing to me from your hands? says the Lord.
bbe@Malachi:2:2 @If you will not give ear and take it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord of armies, then I will send the curse on you and will put a curse on your blessing: truly, even now I have put a curse on it, because you do not take it to heart.
bbe@Malachi:2:3 @See, I will have your arm cut off, and will put waste on your faces, even the waste from your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.
bbe@Malachi:2:4 @And you will be certain that I have sent this order to you, so that it might be my agreement with Levi, says the Lord of armies.
bbe@Malachi:2:8 @But you are turned out of the way; you have made the law hard for numbers of people; you have made the agreement of Levi of no value, says the Lord of armies.
bbe@Malachi:2:9 @And so I have taken away your honour and made you low before all the people, even as you have not kept my ways, and have given no thought to me in using the law.
bbe@Malachi:2:10 @Have we not all one father? has not one God made us? why are we, every one of us, acting falsely to his brother, putting shame on the agreement of our fathers?
bbe@Malachi:2:12 @The Lord will have the man who does this cut off root and branch out of the tents of Jacob, and him who makes an offering to the Lord of armies.
bbe@Malachi:2:14 @But you say, For what reason? Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your early years, to whom you have been untrue, though she is your friend and the wife to whom you have given your word.
bbe@Malachi:2:17 @You have made the Lord tired with your words. And still you say, How have we made him tired? By your saying, Everyone who does evil is good in the eyes of the Lord, and he has delight in them; or, Where is God the judge?
bbe@Malachi:3:1 @See, I am sending my servant, and he will make ready the way before me; and the Lord, whom you are looking for, will suddenly come to his Temple; and the angel of the agreement, in whom you have delight, see, he is coming, says the Lord of armies.
bbe@Malachi:3:5 @And I will come near to you for judging; I will quickly be a witness against the wonder-workers, against those who have been untrue in married life, against those who take false oaths; against those who keep back from the servant his payment, and who are hard on the widow and the child without a father, who do not give his rights to the man from a strange country, and have no fear of me, says the Lord of armies.
bbe@Malachi:3:6 @For I am the Lord, I am unchanged; and so you, O sons of Jacob,
