Hosea:1:1 @ The word of the Lord that came unto Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziyah, Jotham, Achaz, Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash the king of Israel.
lesserot@Hosea:1:2 @ The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea was, that the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of prostitution and children of prostitution; for the land go far astray, departing from the Lord.
lesserot@Hosea:1:3 @ So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblayim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
lesserot@Hosea:1:4 @ And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Yizreel; for but yet a little while, when I will visit the blood of Yizreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
lesserot@Hosea:1:5 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Yizreel.
lesserot@Hosea:1:6 @ And she conceived again, and bore a daughter: and he said unto him, Call her name Loruchamah; for I will not farther have any more mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will give them their full recompense.
lesserot@Hosea:1:7 @ But upon the house of Judah will I have mercy, and I will save them through the Lord their God, and I will not save them by the bow, or by the sword, or by battle, by horses, or by horsemen.
lesserot@Hosea:1:8 @ Now when she had weaned Loruchamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
lesserot@Hosea:1:9 @ Then said he, Call his name Loammi; for ye are not my people, and I will indeed not be unto you.
lesserot@Hosea:3:1 @ Then said the Lord unto me, Go once more, love a woman beloved of her husband, yet committing adultery; like the love of the Lord toward the children of Israel, who turn themselves after other gods, and love flagons of wine.
lesserot@Hosea:3:3 @ And I said unto her, Many days shalt thou abide for me: thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not belong to any man, and so will I also be toward thee.
lesserot@Hosea:3:4 @ For many days shall the children of Israel abide without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without a standing image, and without an ephod and theraphim.
lesserot@Hosea:3:5 @ After that will the children of Israel return, and seek for the Lord their God and David their king; and fearing will they hasten to the Lord and to his goodness in the latter days,
lesserot@Hosea:4:1 @ Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel; for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land; because there is no truth, nor kindness, nor knowledge of God in the land.
lesserot@Hosea:4:2 @ There is false swearing, and lying, and murdering, and stealing, and committing adultery: they break the bounds, and blood toucheth on blood.
lesserot@Hosea:4:3 @ Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the heaven; yea, also the fishes of the sea shall perish.
lesserot@Hosea:4:4 @ Yet let no man strive, let no man reprove another: and thy people are contentious equally with the priest.
lesserot@Hosea:4:5 @ Therefore shalt thou stumble in the daytime, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night; and I will destroy thy mother.
lesserot@Hosea:4:6 @ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge, so will I also reject thee, that thou shalt not be a priest to me; and as thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, so will I myself also forget thy children.
lesserot@Hosea:4:7 @ The more they increased, the more did they sin against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
lesserot@Hosea:4:8 @ The sinoffering of my people do they eat, and for their iniquity doth the soul of each one of them long.
lesserot@Hosea:4:9 @ Therefore shall the same befall both people and priest: and I will punish every one of them for his ways, and recompense every one for his doings.
lesserot@Hosea:4:10 @ And they will eat, and shall not be satisfied; they will commit lewdness, and they shall not increase; because the Lord have they forsaken keeping.
lesserot@Hosea:4:11 @ Lewdness and wine and new wine take away the heart.
lesserot@Hosea:4:12 @ My people ask counsel of their stick of wood, and their staff shall tell them: for the spirit of lewdness hath caused them to err, and they are gone astray unfaithful to their God.
lesserot@Hosea:4:13 @ Upon the tops of the mountains do they sacrifice, and upon the hills burn they incense, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because their shadow is good: therefore will your daughters play the harlot, and your daughterinlaw will commit adultery.
lesserot@Hosea:4:14 @ I cannot inflict punishment on your daughters when they play the harlot, nor on your daughtersinlaw when they commit adultery; for they themselves associate with lewd women, and with harlots do they sacrifice: and so doth the people that doth not understand stumble.
lesserot@Hosea:4:15 @ Yet though thou play the harlot, O Israel, let not Judah offend: and come not ye unto Gilgal, nor go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, As the Lord liveth.
lesserot@Hosea:4:16 @ For like an untamable cow is Israel disobedient: now would the Lord have fed them as a sheep in a wide pasture.
lesserot@Hosea:4:18 @ Their drinking bout will come to an end: while they are so often guilty of lewdness, their rulers love, prepare themselves but shame.
lesserot@Hosea:4:19 @ The wind seizeth fast on them with its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
lesserot@Hosea:5:1 @ Hear this, O ye priests; and listen well, O ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for the punishment threateneth you; because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread out upon Thabor.
lesserot@Hosea:5:2 @ And for murdering they who had rebelled concealed themselves in deep places; but I will inflict correction on them all.
lesserot@Hosea:5:3 @ I well know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, O Ephraim, hast thou played the harlot, Israel is defiled.
lesserot@Hosea:5:4 @ Their doings will not permit them to return unto their God; for the spirit of lewdness is in their bosom, and the Lord they have not known.
lesserot@Hosea:5:5 @ Therefore shall the pride of Israel be humbled before his face: and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity; Judah also shall stumble with them.
lesserot@Hosea:5:6 @ With their flocks and with their herds will they go to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him: he hath withdrawn himself from them.
lesserot@Hosea:5:7 @ Against the Lord have they dealt treacherously; for strange children have they begotten: now shall one month devour them together with their possessions.
lesserot@Hosea:5:8 @ Blow ye the cornet in Gibah, the trumpet in Ramah: blow the alarm at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.
lesserot@Hosea:5:9 @ Ephraim shall be made desolate on the day of chastisement: among the tribes of Israel had I made known that which is true.
lesserot@Hosea:5:10 @ The princes of Judah were like those that remove the landmark: my wrath, therefore, will I pour out upon them like water.
lesserot@Hosea:5:11 @ Oppressed is Ephraim, broken through punishment; because he willingly walked after the commandment.
lesserot@Hosea:5:12 @ But like the moth became I unto Ephraim, and like rottenness to the house of Judah.
lesserot@Hosea:5:13 @ Then saw Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, and Ephraim went to Asshur, and sent to the king that should contend; but he will never be able to heal you, nor remove from you your wound.
lesserot@Hosea:5:14 @ For I am as a lion unto Ephraim, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I myself will tear in pieces and go away; I will bear away, and none shall deliver.
lesserot@Hosea:5:15 @ I will go return to my place, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek my presence: in their affliction will they seek for me.
lesserot@Hosea:6:1 @ "Come, and let us return unto the Lord; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind up our wounds.
lesserot@Hosea:6:2 @ He will revive us after two days: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his presence.
lesserot@Hosea:6:3 @ And let us feel it, that we may strive to know the Lord; bright as the morningdawn is his rising; and he will come as the rain unto us, as the latter rain that maketh fruitful the earth."
lesserot@Hosea:6:4 @ What shall I do unto thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do unto thee, O Judah? for your piety is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away.
lesserot@Hosea:6:5 @ Therefore did I hew down by means of the prophets; I slew them by the words of my mouth: and thy punishments go forth like the light.
lesserot@Hosea:6:6 @ For piety I desired, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God, more than burntofferings.
lesserot@Hosea:6:7 @ But they, like an ordinary man, have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
lesserot@Hosea:6:9 @ And as troops that lie in wait for a man, so is the band of priests, they murder on the way in unison; for they commit scandalous deeds.
lesserot@Hosea:6:10 @ On the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: there is lewdness in Ephraim, Israel is become defiled.
lesserot@Hosea:6:11 @ Also for thee, O Judah, will a harvest be prepared, when I bring back the captivity of my people.
lesserot@Hosea:7:1 @ Should I desire to heal Israel, then would the iniquity of Ephraim and the wickedness of Samaria be laid open; for they commit falsehood; and the thief entereth, and the troop of robbers is spread abroad without.
lesserot@Hosea:7:2 @ And they never think in their own heart that I remember all their wickedness: though now their own doings are all round about them; before my face are they present.
lesserot@Hosea:7:3 @ With their wickedness they make the king glad, and with their lies the princes.
lesserot@Hosea:7:4 @ They are all adulterers, as an oven well heated by the baker: he that stirreth resteth awhile from kneading the dough, until it be leavened.
lesserot@Hosea:7:5 @ On the day of our kings the princes are made sick with the fumes of wine: joineth his hand with scorners.
lesserot@Hosea:7:6 @ For they make ready their heart for their tricky deeds, like the oven, the baker whereof sleepeth all the night, while in the morning it gloweth as a flaming fire.
lesserot@Hosea:7:7 @ They are all hot as an oven, they devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
lesserot@Hosea:7:8 @ Ephraim mixeth himself indeed among the nations: Ephraim is a cake not turned.
lesserot@Hosea:7:9 @ Strangers devour his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are sprinkled about on his, yet he knoweth not.
lesserot@Hosea:7:10 @ And humbled was the pride of Israel before his own face; but they did not return to the Lord their God, and sought him not, notwithstanding all this.
lesserot@Hosea:7:11 @ And Ephraim is become like a silly dove without understanding: Egypt did they call hither, to Assyria did they go.
lesserot@Hosea:7:12 @ As they go, so will I spread out my net over them; as the fowls of the heaven will I bring them down: I will chastise them, as it hath been announced to their congregation.
lesserot@Hosea:7:13 @ Woe unto them! for they have fled from me; destruction shall come unto them, because they have transgressed against me: though I desired to redeem them, they yet spoke lies against me.
lesserot@Hosea:7:14 @ And they cried not unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: for corn and new wine they assemble themselves, and they rebel against me.
lesserot@Hosea:7:15 @ And I desired to instruct and to strengthen their arms; yet would they devise evil against me.
lesserot@Hosea:7:16 @ They never return upward: they are like a deceitful bow: by the sword shall their princes fall because of the rage of their tongue; this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
lesserot@Hosea:8:1 @ Set the cornet to thy mouth. like the eagle against the house of the Lord: because they have transgressed my covenant, and against my law have they trespassed.
lesserot@Hosea:8:2 @ To me will they then cry, My God, we, Israel, know thee.
lesserot@Hosea:8:3 @ Israel did reject the good; so let the enemy pursue him.
lesserot@Hosea:8:4 @ They set up kings, but not my advice: they chose princes and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made themselves idols so that they will be cut off.
lesserot@Hosea:8:5 @ Thy calf, O Samaria, hath caused thy rejection; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be that they cannot cleanse themselves?
lesserot@Hosea:8:6 @ For whom Israel did also that spring; an artisan made it, and no God is it: so then shall it become broken in splinters that calf of Samaria.
lesserot@Hosea:8:7 @ For the wind do they sow, and the whirlwind shall they reap: bringeth no standing corn; the plant yieldeth no meal; but should it yield it, strangers would swallow it up.
lesserot@Hosea:8:8 @ Swallowed up is Israel: now are they among the nations as a vessel without any value.
lesserot@Hosea:8:9 @ For they are needs gone up to Assyria, they who like a wild ass should dwell alone: Ephraim spendeth lovers gifts.
lesserot@Hosea:8:10 @ But even though they should spend gifts among the nations, now will I gather them: and they shall be humbled a little through the burden of the king of princes.
lesserot@Hosea:8:11 @ Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, the altars have been unto him the means of sinning.
lesserot@Hosea:8:12 @ I ever wrote down for him the great things of my law; but as a strange thing are they accounted.
lesserot@Hosea:8:13 @ My sacrificial offerings they slay as common flesh that they may eat it; the Lord accepteth them not in favor: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall indeed return to Egypt.
lesserot@Hosea:8:14 @ For Israel forgot his Maker, and built palaces; and Judah multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire among his cities, and it shall devour their fine edifices.
lesserot@Hosea:9:1 @ Rejoice not, O Israel, for gladness, as other people; for thou art gone astray, unfaithful to thy God: thou hast loved the wages of sin upon every cornfilled threshingfloor.
lesserot@Hosea:9:2 @ The threshingfloor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall deceive them.
lesserot@Hosea:9:3 @ They shall not dwell in the land of the Lord; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria will they eat unclean things.
lesserot@Hosea:9:4 @ They shall not pour out wine to the Lord, and shall not be pleasing unto him; their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for this their food can only be for themselves, it shall not come into the house of the Lord.
lesserot@Hosea:9:5 @ What will ye do on the day of the appointed festival, and on the day of the feast of the Lord?
lesserot@Hosea:9:6 @ For, lo, they are gone forth because of the desolation: Egypt will gather them up, Moph will bury them: the pleasant chambers for their silver,these shall nettles take possession of; thorns shall in their tents.
lesserot@Hosea:9:7 @ Come are the days of the visitation, come are the days of thy recompense; this shall Israel experience: a fool was the prophet, mad the inspired man, because of the greatness of thy iniquity, and the great hatefulness.
lesserot@Hosea:9:8 @ The watchman of Ephraim with my God, the prophet, was a snare of the fowler on all his ways, a hateful thing in the house of his god.
lesserot@Hosea:9:9 @ They are deeply corrupt, as in the days of Gibah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
lesserot@Hosea:9:10 @ Like grapes in the wilderness had I found Israel; as the first ripe fruit on the figtree in the first of the season had I seen your fathers; but they too went to Baalpeor: and devoted themselves unto that shameful idol, and became abominations as those they loved.
lesserot@Hosea:9:11 @ As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there is no more birth, and no pregnancy, and no conception.
lesserot@Hosea:9:12 @ But though they were to bring up their children, yet would I bereave them, that there should be no man: yea, woe also to themselves, when I depart from them!
lesserot@Hosea:9:13 @ Ephraim, as I have seen him like Tyre, planted in a pleasant meadow,yet this Ephraim shall lead forth to the murderer his children.
lesserot@Hosea:9:14 @ Give them, O Lord, what thou wilt give! give them a miscarrying womb and driedup breasts.
lesserot@Hosea:9:15 @ All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hate them; for the wickedness of their doings will I drive them out of my house: I will love them no farther; all their princes are rebels.
lesserot@Hosea:9:16 @ Smitten is Ephraim, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet would I slay the beloved fruit of their body.
lesserot@Hosea:9:17 @ My God will reject them, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
lesserot@Hosea:10:1 @ An emptied vine is Israel; how should he bring forth fruit for himself? the more numerous was his fruit the more he increased the altars; the more prosperous was his land, the more they made goodly statues.
lesserot@Hosea:10:2 @ Their heart is divided; now shall they bear their guilt: this will break down their altars, will devastate their statues.
lesserot@Hosea:10:3 @ For now will they say, We have no king; because we fear not the Lord: and the kingwhat can he do for us?
lesserot@Hosea:10:4 @ They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: therefore springeth up the punishment as poison in the furrows of the field.
lesserot@Hosea:10:5 @ For the calves of Bethaven are terrified the inhabitants of Samaria: yea, the people thereof mourn over them, and also its false priests that rejoiced over them, for its glory, because it is departed from it.
lesserot@Hosea:10:6 @ Also this shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to the contentious king: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed because of his own counsel.
lesserot@Hosea:10:7 @ As for Samaria, her king shall vanish like the foam upon the surface of the water.
lesserot@Hosea:10:8 @ And destroyed shall be the highplaces of Aven, the sin of Israel; the thorn and the thistle shall grow upon their altars: and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall upon us.
lesserot@Hosea:10:9 @ More than in the days of Gibah hast thou sinned, O Israel! there they stood; and the battle in Gibah against the children of wickedness did not overtake them.
lesserot@Hosea:10:10 @ after my desire will I chastise them: and the people shall be gathered against them, when they harness them in their two furrows.
lesserot@Hosea:10:11 @ And Ephraim is as a welltaught heifer that loveth to tread out the corn; and I passed over her fair neck: now will I make Ephraim draw the wagon, Judah shall plough, and Jacob shall harrow the field for the enemy.
lesserot@Hosea:10:12 @ Sow then for yourselves after righteousness, that you may reap of kindness; cultivate your fallow field; for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness down for you.
lesserot@Hosea:10:13 @ ye have ploughed wickedness, iniquity have ye reaped, ye have eaten the fruit of lies; because thou didst trust in thy own way, in the multitude of thy mighty men:
lesserot@Hosea:10:14 @ Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be wasted, as Shalman devastated Betharbel on the day of battle, the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
lesserot@Hosea:10:15 @ The like of this doth Bethel procure unto you because of your great wickedness: in the early morning shall utterly pass away the king of Israel.
lesserot@Hosea:11:1 @ When Israel was yet young, then I loved him, and out of Egypt did I call my son.
lesserot@Hosea:11:2 @ The called them; but the more they went from them: unto the Bealim would they sacrifice, and to the graven images would they burn incense.
lesserot@Hosea:11:3 @ Yet I myself appointed a leader for Ephraim, who took them up in his arms; but they would not acknowledge that I healed them.
lesserot@Hosea:11:4 @ With human cords I ever drew them forward, with leadingstrings of love: and I was to them as those that lift off the yoke from their jaws, and I held out unto them food.
lesserot@Hosea:11:5 @ He should not return unto the land of Egypt: yet is the Assyrian his king; because they refused to repent.
lesserot@Hosea:11:6 @ And the sword shall fall on his cities, and shall make an end of his boughs, and consume them, because of their counsels.
lesserot@Hosea:11:7 @ For my people are only bent on backsliding from me; and though upward they call them, they altogether will not elevate themselves.
lesserot@Hosea:11:8 @ How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I surrender thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I change thee as Zeboyim? turned is my heart within me, all my compassion is enkindled together.
lesserot@Hosea:11:9 @ I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not again destroy Ephraim; for God am I, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of thee, and I will not come with an enemys hatred.
lesserot@Hosea:11:10 @ They shall follow after the Lord, when he will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children shall hasten together from the west;
lesserot@Hosea:11:11 @ They shall hasten together as birds out of Egypt, and as doves out of the land of Assyria: and I will cause them to dwell in their houses, saith the Lord.
lesserot@Hosea:13:1 @ When once Ephraim spoke, trembled, so high was he exalted in Israel; but he offended through Baal, and he died.
lesserot@Hosea:13:2 @ And now they yet continue to sin, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, idols according to their own imagining, every one of them the work of the artisan: they say to them, They that sacrifice men may kiss the calves.
lesserot@Hosea:13:3 @ Therefore shall they be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away, as the chaff that is driven by the whirlwind out of the threshingfloor, and as smoke out of a window.
lesserot@Hosea:13:4 @ Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: and no god but me shalt thou know, and there is no saviour beside me.
lesserot@Hosea:13:5 @ I myself did provide for thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
lesserot@Hosea:13:6 @ When they came to their pasture, they became sated; they were sated, and their heart was lifted up: therefore have they forgotten me.
lesserot@Hosea:13:7 @ And now I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard will I lie in wait by the way.
lesserot@Hosea:13:8 @ I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her whelps, and I will rend their closedup heart; and I will devour them there like a lioness, the beasts of the field shall rend them.
lesserot@Hosea:13:9 @ Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel; for against me, against thy helper
lesserot@Hosea:13:10 @ Where then is now thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges, since thou saidst, Give me a king, and princes?
lesserot@Hosea:13:11 @ I give thee a king in my anger, and take him away in my wrath.
lesserot@Hosea:13:12 @ Bound up is the iniquity of Ephraim, treasured up is his sin.
lesserot@Hosea:13:13 @ The pains of a travailing woman shall come upon him; he is an unwise son; for he will not remain steadfast at the time of the breaking forth of the child.
lesserot@Hosea:13:14 @ From the power of the grave would I ransom them, from death would I redeem them; where are thy plagues, O death, where is thy pestilence, O grave? compassion shall be hidden from my eyes.
lesserot@Hosea:13:15 @ Though he grow luxuriantly in the green meadows, the east wind shall come, the wind of the Lord, rising up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: the same shall plunder the treasure of all precious vessels.
lesserot@Joel:1:1 @ The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
lesserot@Joel:1:2 @ Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Did ever such a thing as this come to pass in your days, or ever in the days of your fathers?
lesserot@Joel:1:3 @ Tell ye of it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to another generation.
lesserot@Joel:1:4 @ What the caterpillar left hath the locust eaten; and what the locust left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm left hath the cricket eaten.
lesserot@Joel:1:5 @ Wake up, ye drunkards, and weep; and wail, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet new wine, that it is taken away from your mouth.
lesserot@Joel:1:6 @ For a nation is come up over my land, strong, and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it hath the cuttingteeth of the lioness.
lesserot@Joel:1:7 @ It hath laid my vine waste, and barked my figtree: it hath peeled it clean bare, and cast it down; made white are its light branches.
lesserot@Joel:1:8 @ Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the betrothed of her youth.
lesserot@Joel:1:9 @ Cut off are the meatoffering and the drinkoffering from the house of the Lord: now mourn the priests, the ministers of the Lord.
lesserot@Joel:1:10 @ Wasted is the field, the land mourneth; for wasted is the corn: dried up is the new wine, withered is the oil.
lesserot@Joel:1:11 @ Be ashamed, O ye husbandmen; wail, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because lost is the harvest of the field.
lesserot@Joel:1:12 @ The vine is made ashamed, and the figtree is withered; the pomegranatetree, the palmtree also, and the appletree, even all the trees of the field, are dried up; because joy hath ceased from the children of men.
lesserot@Joel:1:13 @ Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests; wail, ye ministers of the altar: come, remain all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God; for there are withholden from the house of your God the meatoffering and the drinkoffering.
lesserot@Joel:1:14 @ Sanctify ye a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly, gather the elders, all the inhabitants of the land, into the house of the Lord your God, and cry aloud unto the Lord.
lesserot@Joel:1:15 @ Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and like destruction from the Almighty will it come.
lesserot@Joel:1:16 @ Is not before our eyes the food cut off, from the house of our God joy and gladness?
lesserot@Joel:1:17 @ The grains of seed are rotten under their clods, laid desolate are the garners, pulled down are the barns; for the corn is dried up.
lesserot@Joel:1:18 @ How do the beasts groan! how do the herds of cattle roam about; because there is no pasture for them: yea, the flocks of sheep are made to perish.
lesserot@Joel:1:19 @ To thee O Lord, will I cry; for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath singed all the trees of the field.
lesserot@Joel:1:20 @ Also the beasts of the field cry unto thee panting; for the brooks of waters are dried up, and a fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
lesserot@Joel:2:1 @ Blow ye the cornet in Zion, and sound an alarm on my holy mount; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh;
lesserot@Joel:2:2 @ It is a day of darkness and of gloom, a day of clouds and of tempestuous obscurity, like the morningdawn spread out upon the mountains: a people numerous and strong, the like of which hath never been and after it there will be none any more, even to the years of all coming generations.
lesserot@Joel:2:3 @ Before it devoureth a fire; and behind it singeth a flame: like the garden of Eden was the land before it, and after it is a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing escapeth from it.
lesserot@Joel:2:4 @ Like the appearance of horses is its appearance; and like horsemen, so do they run.
lesserot@Joel:2:5 @ Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains do they leap; they are like the noise of a flame of fire consuming the stubble, as a strong people arrayed for a battle.
lesserot@Joel:2:6 @ At its presence the people are much pained: all the faces are covered with blackness.
lesserot@Joel:2:7 @ Like mighty men do they run; like men of war they climb up a wall; and they march every one on his own ways, and they turn not aside on their paths.
lesserot@Joel:2:8 @ And they do not press one another; every one on his beaten track do they go forward: and they pass through between warlike weapons, and change not their purpose.
lesserot@Joel:2:9 @ Into the city they hasten forward; on the wall they run; into the houses they climb up; through the windows they make their entrance like a thief.
lesserot@Joel:2:10 @ Before them trembleth the earth; the heavens quake; the sun and the moon are obscured, and the stars withdraw their brightness.
lesserot@Joel:2:11 @ And the Lord uttereth his voice before his army; for very numerous is his camp; for strong is he that executeth his word; for great is the day of the Lord and very terrible; and who is able to endure it?
lesserot@Joel:2:12 @ But even now also, saith the Lord, return ye fully to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
lesserot@Joel:2:13 @ And rend your heart, and not your garments, and return unto the Lord your God; for gracious and merciful is he, long suffering, and of great kindness, and he bethinketh himself of the evil.
lesserot@Joel:2:14 @ He that is conscious, let him return and repent: when may leave behind it a blessing; even a meatoffering and a drinkoffering unto the Lord your God.
lesserot@Joel:2:15 @ Blow the cornet in Zion, sanctify a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly;
lesserot@Joel:2:16 @ Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth out of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
lesserot@Joel:2:17 @ Between the porch and the altar let the priests weep, the ministers of the Lord, and let them say, Spare, O Lord, thy people, and give not up thy heritage to reproach, for nations to make a byword of them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
lesserot@Joel:2:18 @ And the Lord was zealous for his land, and he had pity for his people.
lesserot@Joel:2:19 @ And the Lord answered and said unto his people, "Behold, I will send you the corn, and the young wine, and the oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will not give you up any more to be a reproach among the nations:
lesserot@Joel:2:20 @ And the host of the north will I remove far away from you, and I will drive it off into a land barren and desolate, with its advance toward the eastern sea, and its rereward toward the western sea; and its stench shall ascend, and its ill savor shall come up, because it hath done great things."
lesserot@Joel:2:21 @ Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice; for the Lord hath done great things.
lesserot@Joel:2:22 @ Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness have become green; for the tree beareth its fruit, the figtree and the vine yield their strength.

lesserot@Joel:2:25 @ And I will repay to you the years which the locust hath eaten, with the cankerworm, and the cricket, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I had sent against you.
lesserot@Joel:2:26 @ And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall not be made ashamed unto eternity.

lesserot@Amos:1:3 @ Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have threshed Gilad with threshing instruments of iron;

lesserot@Amos:1:5 @ And I will break the bars of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitants from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall be exiled unto Kir, saith the Lord.
lesserot@Amos:1:6 @ Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Gazzah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they carried away exiles in full numbers, to deliver them up to Edom;
lesserot@Amos:1:7 @ And I will send a fire against the wall of Gazzah, which shall devour her palaces;
lesserot@Amos:1:8 @ And I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord Eternal.
lesserot@Amos:1:9 @ Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they delivered up the exiles in full numbers to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant;
lesserot@Amos:1:10 @ And I will send a fire against the walls of Tyre, which shall devour her palaces.
lesserot@Amos:1:11 @ Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he pursued with the sword his brother, and disregarded his mercy, and his anger tore in pieces continually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
lesserot@Amos:1:12 @ And I will send out a fire against Theman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
lesserot@Amos:1:13 @ Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have ripped up the pregnant women of Gilad, in order to enlarge their own territory;

lesserot@Amos:2:4 @ Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have despised the law of the Lord, and did not keep his statutes, and their lying idols caused them to err, after which their fathers had walked;
lesserot@Amos:2:5 @ And I will send out a fire against Judah, which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
lesserot@Amos:2:6 @ Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they sold for silver the righteous, and the needy for a pair of shoes;

lesserot@Amos:2:9 @ Yet have I destroyed the Emorite from before them, whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as the oaks; but I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
lesserot@Amos:2:10 @ And it was I who have brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to take possession of the land of the Emorite.
lesserot@Amos:2:11 @ And I have raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for nazarites: is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.
lesserot@Amos:2:12 @ But ye have given the nazarites wine to drink; and concerning the prophets have ye commanded, saying, Ye shall not prophesy.
lesserot@Amos:2:13 @ Behold, I press down under you, as the wagon presseth down that is full of sheaves.

lesserot@Amos:2:16 @ And he that is most courageous hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked on that day, saith the Lord.
lesserot@Amos:3:1 @ Hear this word which the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O children of Israel, concerning the whole family which I have brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,

lesserot@Amos:3:3 @ Will two walk together, except they had agreed?
lesserot@Amos:3:4 @ Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion send forth his voice out of his den, unless he have caught something?
lesserot@Amos:3:5 @ Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, when there is no gin for him? is ever a snare taken up from the ground, when it hath caught nothing at all?
lesserot@Amos:3:6 @ Shall a cornet be blown in a city, and the people not become afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord have not done it?
lesserot@Amos:3:7 @ For the Lord Eternal will do nothing, unless he have revealed his secret unto his servants the prophets.
lesserot@Amos:3:8 @ The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord Eternal hath spoken, who will not prophesy?
lesserot@Amos:3:9 @ Publish at the palaces in Ashdod, and at the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great confusions in her midst, and the oppressions within her.
lesserot@Amos:3:10 @ For they know not how to act rightly, saith the Lord, who treasure up violence and robbery in their palaces.
lesserot@Amos:3:11 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, The adversary and surroundeth the land: and he shall bring down from thee thy strength, and thy palaces shall be plundered.
lesserot@Amos:3:12 @ Thus hath said the Lord, As the shepherd snatcheth out of the mouth of the lion two legbones, or a tip of the ear: so shall be delivered the children of Israel that sit in Samaria on the corner of a bed, and on Damascus couches.
lesserot@Amos:3:13 @ Hear ye, and give warning in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord Eternal, the God of hosts.
lesserot@Amos:3:14 @ For on the day when I visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, will I also inflict punishment on the altars of Bethel: and then shall be hewn off the horns of the altar, and they shall fall to the ground.
lesserot@Amos:3:15 @ And I will smite the winterhouse together with the summerhouse: and the houses of ivory shall disappear, and the great houses shall be no more, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Amos:4:4 @ Go then to Bethel, and transgress; to Gilgal, multiply transgression; and bring in the morning your sacrifices, after three days your tithes:
lesserot@Amos:4:5 @ And burn of leaven a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and proclaim and publish freewillofferings; for so do you love, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord Eternal.
lesserot@Amos:4:6 @ But, I also had indeed given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: and yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
lesserot@Amos:4:7 @ And I also had indeed withholden from you the rain, when it was yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and upon another city I caused it not to rain; one piece of land was rained upon, and another piece whereupon it rained not became dried up;
lesserot@Amos:4:8 @ And two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: and yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
lesserot@Amos:4:9 @ I had smitten you with blasting and mildew; the multitude of your gardens and your vineyards and your figtrees and your olivetrees did the caterpillar devour: and yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
lesserot@Amos:4:10 @ I had sent out against you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt; I slew your young men with the sword, together with your captive horses; and I had caused the stench of your camps to ascend even into your nostrils; and yet ye have not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
lesserot@Amos:4:11 @ I had produced an overthrow among you, like the overthrow by God of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye became like a firebrand snatched out of the burning: and yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
