Hosea:1:1 @ THE WORD of the LORD that came unto Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
jps@Hosea:1:4 @ And the LORD said unto him: 'Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
jps@Hosea:1:5 @ And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.'
jps@Hosea:1:6 @ And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And He said unto him: 'Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have compassion upon the house of Israel, that I should in any wise pardon them.
jps@Hosea:1:9 @ And He said: 'Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not My people, and I will not be yours.'
jps@Hosea:1:10 @ Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that, instead of that which was said unto them: 'Ye are not My people', it shall be said unto them: 'Ye are the children of the living God.'
jps@Hosea:1:11 @ And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up out of the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
jps@Hosea:2:1 @ Say ye unto your brethren: 'Ammi'; and to your sisters, 'Ruhamah.'
jps@Hosea:2:2 @ Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not My wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her harlotries from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
jps@Hosea:2:13 @ And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, wherein she offered unto them, and decked herself with her ear-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot Me, saith the LORD.
jps@Hosea:2:16 @ And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call Me Ishi, and shalt call Me no more Baali.
jps@Hosea:3:1 @ And the LORD said unto me: 'Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend and an adulteress, even as the LORD loveth the children of Israel, though they turn unto other gods, and love cakes of raisins.
jps@Hosea:3:4 @ For the children of Israel shall sit solitary many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim;
jps@Hosea:3:5 @ afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall come trembling unto the LORD and to His goodness in the end of days.
jps@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 mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
jps@Hosea:4:3 @ Therefore doth the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein doth languish, with the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also are taken away.
jps@Hosea:4:9 @ And it is like people, like priest; and I will punish him for his ways, and will recompense him his doings.
jps@Hosea:4:13 @ They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and offer upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because the shadow thereof is good; therefore your daughters commit harlotry, and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
jps@Hosea:4:14 @ I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery; for they themselves consort with lewd women, and they sacrifice with harlots; and the people that is without understanding is distraught.
jps@Hosea:4:15 @ Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah become guilty; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth- aven, nor swear: 'As the LORD liveth.'
jps@Hosea:4:16 @ For Israel is stubborn like a stubborn heifer; now shall the LORD feed them as a lamb in a large place?
jps@Hosea:4:17 @ Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone.
jps@Hosea:4:18 @ When their carouse is over, they take to harlotry; her rulers deeply love dishonour.
jps@Hosea:5:1 @ Hear this, O ye priests, and attend, ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for unto you pertaineth the judgment; for ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
jps@Hosea:5:3 @ I, even I, know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from Me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed harlotry, Israel is defiled.
jps@Hosea:5:4 @ Their doings will not suffer them to return unto their God; for the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not the LORD.
jps@Hosea:5:5 @ But the pride of Israel shall testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity, Judah also shall stumble with them.
jps@Hosea:5:9 @ Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel do I make known that which shall surely be.
jps@Hosea:5:11 @ Oppressed is Ephraim, crushed in his right; because he willingly walked after filth.
jps@Hosea:5:13 @ And when Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Contentious; but he is not able to heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound.
jps@Hosea:6:2 @ After two days will He revive us, on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
jps@Hosea:6:3 @ And let us know, eagerly strive to know the LORD, His going forth is sure as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.'
jps@Hosea:6:4 @ O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.
jps@Hosea:6:8 @ Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, it is covered with footprints of blood.
jps@Hosea:6:10 @ In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; there harlotry is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
jps@Hosea:6:11 @ Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee! When I would turn the captivity of My people,
jps@Hosea:7:1 @ when I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they commit falsehood; and the thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers maketh a raid without.
jps@Hosea:7:5 @ On the day of our king the princes make him sick with the heat of wine, he stretcheth out his hand with scorners.
jps@Hosea:7:7 @ They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen, there is none among them that calleth unto Me.
jps@Hosea:7:8 @ Ephraim, he mixeth himself with the peoples; Ephraim is become a cake not turned.
jps@Hosea:7:9 @ Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not; yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth it not.
jps@Hosea:7:10 @ And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face; but they have not returned unto the LORD their God, nor sought Him, for all this.
jps@Hosea:7:11 @ And Ephraim is become like a silly dove, without understanding; they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria.
jps@Hosea:7:12 @ Even as they go, I will spread My net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath been made to hear.
jps@Hosea:7:15 @ Though I have trained and strengthened their arms, yet do they devise evil against Me.
jps@Hosea:7:16 @ They return, but not upwards; they are become like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue; this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
jps@Hosea:8:2 @ Will they cry unto Me: 'My God, we Israel know Thee'?
jps@Hosea:8:3 @ Israel hath cast off that which is good; the enemy shall pursue him.
jps@Hosea:8:5 @ Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off; Mine anger is kindled against them; how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
jps@Hosea:8:6 @ For from Israel is even this: the craftsman made it, and it is no God; yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in shivers.
jps@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up; now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no value.
jps@Hosea:8:10 @ Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them up; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of king and princes.
jps@Hosea:8:13 @ As for the sacrifices that are made by fire unto Me, let them sacrifice flesh and eat it, for the LORD accepteth them not. Now will He remember their iniquity, and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
jps@Hosea:8:14 @ For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces, and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.
jps@Hosea:9:1 @ Rejoice not, O Israel, unto exultation, like the peoples, for thou hast gone astray from thy God, thou hast loved a harlot's hire upon every corn-floor.
jps@Hosea:9:6 @ For, lo, they are gone away from destruction, yet Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them; their precious treasures of silver, nettles shall possess them, thorns shall be in their tents.
jps@Hosea:9:7 @ The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come, Israel shall know it. The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is mad! For the multitude of thine iniquity, the enmity is great.
jps@Hosea:9:8 @ Ephraim is a watchman with my God; as for the prophet, a fowler's snare is in all his ways, and enmity in the house of his God.
jps@Hosea:9:9 @ They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity, He will punish their sins.
jps@Hosea:9:10 @ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness, I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree at her first season; but so soon as they came to Baal-peor, they separated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became detestable like that which they loved.
jps@Hosea:9:13 @ Ephraim, like as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer.
jps@Hosea:9:14 @ Give them, O LORD, whatsoever Thou wilt give; give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
jps@Hosea:9:15 @ All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for there I hated them; because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of My house; I will love them no more, all their princes are rebellious.
jps@Hosea:9:16 @ Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb.
jps@Hosea:10:1 @ Israel was a luxuriant vine, which put forth fruit freely: as his fruit increased, he increased his altars; the more goodly his land was, the more goodly were his pillars.
jps@Hosea:10:2 @ Their heart is divided; now shall they bear their guilt; He will break down their altars, He will spoil their pillars.
jps@Hosea:10:5 @ The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in dread for the calves of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof shall tremble for it, for its glory, because it is departed from it.
jps@Hosea:10:6 @ It also shall be carried unto Assyria, for a present to King Contentious; Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
jps@Hosea:10:7 @ As for Samaria, her king is cut off, as foam upon the water.
jps@Hosea:10:8 @ The high places also of Aven shall be destroyed, even the sin of Israel. The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains: 'Cover us', and to the hills: 'Fall on us.'
jps@Hosea:10:9 @ From the days of Gibeah thou hast sinned, O Israel; there they stood; no battle was to overtake them in Gibeah, nor the children of arrogancy.
jps@Hosea:10:10 @ When it is My desire, I will chastise them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are yoked to their two rings.
jps@Hosea:10:11 @ And Ephraim is a heifer well broken, that loveth to thresh, and I have passed over upon her fair neck; I will make Ephraim to ride, Judah shall plow, Jacob shall break his clods.
jps@Hosea:10:12 @ Sow to yourselves according to righteousness, reap according to mercy, break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, till He come and cause righteousness to rain upon you.
jps@Hosea:10:14 @ Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy hosts, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle; the mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
jps@Hosea:10:15 @ So hath Beth-el done unto you because of your great wickedness; at daybreak is the king of Israel utterly cut off.
jps@Hosea:11:1 @ When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.
jps@Hosea:11:5 @ He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
jps@Hosea:11:6 @ And the sword shall fall upon his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
jps@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 set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within Me, My compassions are kindled together.
jps@Hosea:11:12 @ Ephraim compasseth Me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; and Judah is yet wayward towards God, and towards the Holy One who is faithful.
jps@Hosea:12:1 @ Ephraim striveth after wind, and followeth after the east wind; all the day he multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
jps@Hosea:12:2 @ The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways, according to his doings will He recompense him.
jps@Hosea:12:3 @ In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and by his strength he strove with a godlike being;
jps@Hosea:12:5 @ But the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD is His name.
jps@Hosea:12:7 @ As for the trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand. He loveth to oppress.
jps@Hosea:12:10 @ I have also spoken unto the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets have I used similitudes.
jps@Hosea:12:12 @ And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
jps@Hosea:12:13 @ And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he kept.
jps@Hosea:12:14 @ Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly; therefore shall his blood be cast upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
jps@Hosea:13:1 @ When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he became guilty through Baal, he died.
jps@Hosea:13:2 @ And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, according to their own understanding, even idols, all of them the work of the craftsmen; of them they say: 'They that sacrifice men kiss calves.'
jps@Hosea:13:3 @ Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the wind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the window.
jps@Hosea:13:4 @ Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt; and thou knowest no God but Me, and beside Me there is no saviour.
jps@Hosea:13:8 @ I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the enclosure of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them.
jps@Hosea:13:9 @ It is thy destruction, O Israel, that thou art against Me, against thy help.
jps@Hosea:13:12 @ The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store.
jps@Hosea:13:13 @ The throes of a travailing woman shall come upon him; he is an unwise son; for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of children.
jps@Hosea:13:15 @ For though he be fruitful among the reed-plants, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD coming up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up; he shall spoil the treasure of all precious vessels.
jps@Hosea:14:1 @ Return, O Israel, unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast stumbled in thine iniquity.
jps@Hosea:14:2 @ Take with you words, and return unto the LORD; say unto Him: 'Forgive all iniquity, and accept that which is good; so will we render for bullocks the offering of our lips.
jps@Hosea:14:4 @ I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for Mine anger is turned away from him.
jps@Hosea:14:5 @ I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
jps@Hosea:14:6 @ His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his fragrance as Lebanon.
jps@Hosea:14:7 @ They that dwell under his shadow shall again make corn to grow, and shall blossom as the vine; the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
jps@Hosea:14:8 @ Ephraim shall say: 'What have I to do any more with idols?' As for Me, I respond and look on him; I am like a leafy cypress-tree; from Me is thy fruit found.
jps@Hosea:14:9 @ Whoso is wise, let him understand these things, whoso is prudent, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the just do walk in them; but transgressors do stumble therein.
jps@Joel:1:2 @ Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
jps@Joel:1:5 @ Awake, ye drunkards, and weep, and wail, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it is cut off from your mouth.
jps@Joel:1:6 @ For a people is come up upon my land, mighty, and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the jaw- teeth of a lioness.
jps@Joel:1:9 @ The meal-offering and the drink-offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests mourn, even the LORD'S ministers.
jps@Joel:1:10 @ The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted, the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
jps@Joel:1:11 @ Be ashamed, O ye husbandmen, wail, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
jps@Joel:1:12 @ The vine is withered, and the fig-tree languisheth; the pomegranate-tree, the palm-tree also, and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered; for joy is withered away from the sons of men.
jps@Joel:1:13 @ Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests, wail, ye ministers of the altar; come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God; for the meal-offering and the drink-offering is withholden from the house of your God.
jps@Joel:1:15 @ Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
jps@Joel:1:16 @ Is not the food cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
jps@Joel:1:17 @ The grains shrivel under their hoes; the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
jps@Joel:2:1 @ Blow ye the horn in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is at hand;
jps@Joel:2:3 @ A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame blazeth; the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing escapeth them.
jps@Joel:2:4 @ The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so do they run.
jps@Joel:2:5 @ Like the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a mighty people set in battle array.
jps@Joel:2:6 @ At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces have gathered blackness.
jps@Joel:2:7 @ They run like mighty men, they climb the wall like men of war; and they move on every one in his ways, and they entangle not their paths.
jps@Joel:2:8 @ Neither doth one thrust another, they march every one in his highway; and they break through the weapons, and suffer no harm.
jps@Joel:2:11 @ And the LORD uttereth His voice before His army; for His camp is very great, for he is mighty that executeth His word; for great is the day of the LORD and very terrible; and who can abide it?
jps@Joel:2:13 @ And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God; for He is gracious and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy, and repenteth Him of the evil.
jps@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 from his chamber, and the bride out of her pavilion.
jps@Joel:2:17 @ Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say: 'Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not Thy heritage to reproach, that the nations should make them a byword: wherefore should they say among the peoples: Where is their God?'
jps@Joel:2:18 @ Then was the LORD jealous for His land, and had pity on His people.
jps@Joel:2:19 @ And the LORD answered and said unto His people: 'Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations;
jps@Joel:2:20 @ But I will remove far off from you the northern one, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the eastern sea, and his hinder part toward the western sea; that his foulness may come up, and his ill savour may come up, because he hath done great things.'
jps@Joel:2:26 @ And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be ashamed.
jps@Joel:2:27 @ And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and there is none else; and My people shall never be ashamed.
jps@Joel:2:28 @ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions;
jps@Joel:3:2 @ I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided My land.
jps@Joel:3:4 @ And also what are ye to Me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the regions of Philistia? will ye render retribution on My behalf? and if ye render retribution on My behalf, swiftly, speedily will I return your retribution upon your own head.
jps@Joel:3:9 @ Proclaim ye this among the nations, prepare war; stir up the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.
jps@Joel:3:13 @ Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; come, tread ye, for the winepress is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
jps@Joel:3:14 @ Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
jps@Joel:3:16 @ And the LORD shall roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth shall shake; but the LORD will be a refuge unto His people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.
jps@Amos:1:1 @ THE WORDS of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
jps@Amos:1:2 @ And he said: The LORD roareth from Zion, and uttereth His voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
jps@Amos:1:8 @ And I will cut off the inhabitant 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 GOD.
jps@Amos:1:11 @ Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever.
jps@Amos:1:15 @ And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
jps@Amos:2:4 @ Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept His statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers did walk.
jps@Amos:2:6 @ Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Israel, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
jps@Amos:2:7 @ That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the humble; and a man and his father go unto the same maid, to profane My holy name;
jps@Amos:2:9 @ Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
jps@Amos:2:11 @ And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.
jps@Amos:2:13 @ Behold, I will make it creak under you, as a cart creaketh that is full of sheaves.
jps@Amos:2:14 @ And flight shall fail the swift, and the strong shall not exert his strength, neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
jps@Amos:2:15 @ Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself; neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself;
jps@Amos:2:16 @ And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
jps@Amos:3:1 @ Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
jps@Amos:3:2 @ You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
jps@Amos:3:4 @ Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? Will a young lion give forth his voice out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
jps@Amos:3:5 @ Will a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where there is no lure for it? Will a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?
jps@Amos:3:7 @ For the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His counsel unto His servants the prophets.
jps@Amos:3:12 @ Thus saith the LORD: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel that dwell in Samaria escape with the corner of a couch, and the leg of a bed.
jps@Amos:3:14 @ For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also punish the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
jps@Amos:3:15 @ And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
jps@Amos:4:1 @ Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, that oppress the poor, that crush the needy, that say unto their lords: 'Bring, that we may feast.'
jps@Amos:4:2 @ The Lord GOD hath sworn by His holiness: Lo, surely the days shall come upon you, that ye shall be taken away with hooks, and your residue with fish-hooks.
jps@Amos:4:5 @ And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill-offerings and publish them; for so ye love to do, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
jps@Amos:4:8 @ So two or three cities wandered unto one city to drink water, and were not satisfied; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith the LORD.
jps@Amos:4:12 @ Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel; because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
jps@Amos:4:13 @ For, lo, He that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth; the LORD, the God of hosts, is His name.
jps@Amos:5:1 @ Hear ye this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel:
jps@Amos:5:2 @ The virgin of Israel is fallen, she shall no more rise; she is cast down upon her land, there is none to raise her up.
jps@Amos:5:3 @ For thus saith the Lord GOD: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, of the house of Israel.
jps@Amos:5:4 @ For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel: Seek ye Me, and live;
