Hosea:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to 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.
bbe@Hosea:1:2 @The start of the word of the Lord by Hosea: And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take for yourself a wife of loose ways, and children of the same, for the land has been untrue to the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:1:3 @So he took as his wife Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she gave birth to a son.
bbe@Hosea:1:4 @And the Lord said to him, Give him the name of Jezreel, for after a little time I will send punishment for the blood of Jezreel on the line of Jehu, and put an end to the kingdom of Israel.
bbe@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:1:9 @And the Lord said, Give him the name Lo-ammi; for you are not my people, and I will not be your God.
bbe@Hosea:1:10 @But still the number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which may not be measured or numbered; and in place of its being said to them, You are not my people, it will be said to them, You are the sons of the living God
bbe@Hosea:1:11 @And the children of Israel and the children of Judah will come together and take for themselves one head, and will go up from the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel.
bbe@Hosea:2:4 @And I will have no mercy on her children, for they are the children of her loose ways.
bbe@Hosea:2:5 @For their mother has been untrue; she who gave them birth has done things of shame, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my wine.
bbe@Hosea:2:7 @And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.
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:2:10 @And now I will make her shame clear before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will take her out of my hand.
bbe@Hosea:2:11 @And I will put an end to all her joy, her feasts, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her regular meetings.
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:2:13 @And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:2:14 @For this cause I will make her come into the waste land and will say words of comfort to her.
bbe@Hosea:2:15 @And I will give her vine-gardens from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will give her answer there as in the days when she was young, and as in the time when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
bbe@Hosea:2:16 @And in that day, says the Lord, you will say to me, Ishi; and you will never again give me the name of Baali;
bbe@Hosea:2:17 @For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and never again will she say their names.
bbe@Hosea:2:18 @And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in peace.
bbe@Hosea:2:19 @And I will take you as my bride for ever; truly, I will take you as my bride in righteousness and in right judging, in love and in mercies.
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:3:1 @And the Lord said to me, Give your love again to a woman who has a lover and is false to her husband, even as the Lord has love for the children of Israel, though they are turned to other gods and are lovers of grape-cakes.
bbe@Hosea:3:2 @So I got her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a half of barley;
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:3:4 @For the children of Israel will for a long time be without king and without ruler, without offerings and without pillars, and without ephod or images.
bbe@Hosea:3:5 @And after that, the children of Israel will come back and go in search of the Lord their God and David their king; and they will come in fear to the Lord and to his mercies in the days to come.
bbe@Hosea:4:1 @Give ear to the word of the Lord, O children of Israel; for the Lord has a cause against the people of this land, because there is no good faith in it, and no mercy and no knowledge of God in the land.
bbe@Hosea:4:2 @There is cursing and broken faith, violent death and attacks on property, men are untrue in married life, houses are broken into, and there is blood touching blood.
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:4:7 @Even while they were increasing in number they were sinning against me; I will let their glory be changed into shame.
bbe@Hosea:4:9 @And the priest will be like the people; I will give them punishment for their evil ways, and the reward of their acts.
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:4:13 @They make offerings on the tops of mountains, burning perfumes in high places, under trees of every sort, because their shade is good: and so your daughters are given up to loose ways and your brides are false to their husbands.
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:4:15 @Do not you, O Israel, come into error; do not you, O Judah, come to Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven, or take an oath, By the living Lord.
bbe@Hosea:4:18 @Their drink has become bitter; they are completely false; her rulers take pleasure in shame.
bbe@Hosea:4:19 @They are folded in the skirts of the wind; they will be shamed because of their offerings.
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:5:9 @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:5:15 @I will go back to my place till they are made waste; in their trouble they will go after me early and will make search for me.
bbe@Hosea:6:1 @Come, let us go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.
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:6:6 @Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.
bbe@Hosea:6:7 @But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.
bbe@Hosea:7:1 @When my desire was for the fate of my people to be changed and to make Israel well, then the sin of Ephraim was made clear, and the evil-doing of Samaria; for their ways are false, and the thief comes into the house, while the band of outlaws takes property by force in the streets.
bbe@Hosea:7:2 @And they do not say to themselves that I keep in mind all their sin; now their evil acts come round them on every side; they are before my face.
bbe@Hosea:7:4 @They are all untrue; they are like a burning oven; the bread-maker does not make up the fire from the time when the paste is mixed till it is leavened.
bbe@Hosea:7:5 @On the day of our king, the rulers made him ill with the heat of wine; his hand was stretched out with the men of pride.
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:7:12 @When they go, my net will be stretched out over them; I will take them like the birds of heaven, I will give them punishment, I will take them away in the net for their sin.
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:8:7 @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:8:8 @Israel has come to destruction; now they are among the nations like a cup in which there is no pleasure.
bbe@Hosea:8:10 @But though they give money to the nations for help, still I will send them in all directions; and in a short time they will be without a king and rulers.
bbe@Hosea:8:11 @Because Ephraim has been increasing altars for sin, altars have become a cause of sin to him.
bbe@Hosea:8:13 @He gives the offerings of his lovers, and takes the flesh for food; but the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep in mind their evil-doing and give them the punishment of their sins; they will go back to Egypt.
bbe@Hosea:8:14 @For Israel has no memory of his Maker, and has put up the houses of kings; and Judah has made great the number of his walled towns. But I will send a fire on his towns and put an end to his great houses.
bbe@Hosea:9:4 @They will give no wine offering to the Lord, they will not make offerings ready for him; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow; all who take it will be unclean, because their bread will be only for their desire, it will not come into the house of the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:9:6 @For see, they are going away into Assyria; Egypt will get them together, Memphis will be their last resting-place; their fair silver vessels will be covered over with field plants, and thorns will come up in their tents.
bbe@Hosea:9:7 @The days of punishment, the days of reward are come; Israel will be put to shame; the prophet is foolish, the man who has the spirit is off his head, because of your great sin.
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:9:10 @I made discovery of Israel as of grapes in the waste land; I saw your fathers as the first-fruits of the fig-tree in her early fruit time; but they came to Baal-peor, and made themselves holy to the thing of shame, and became disgusting like that to which they gave their love.
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:9:15 @All their evil-doing is in Gilgal; there I had hate for them; because of their evil-doing I will send them out of my house; they will no longer be dear to me; all their rulers are uncontrolled.
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:10:4 @Their words are foolish; they make agreements with false oaths, so punishment will come up like a poison-plant in a ploughed field.
bbe@Hosea:10:6 @And they will take it to Assyria and give it to the great king; shame will come on Ephraim, and Israel will be shamed because of its image.
bbe@Hosea:10:8 @And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will come to destruction; thorns and waste plants will come up on their altars; they will say to the mountains, Be a cover over us; and to the hills, Come down on us.
bbe@Hosea:10:10 @I will come and give them punishment; and the peoples will come together against them when I give them the reward of their two sins.
bbe@Hosea:10:12 @Put in the seed of righteousness, get in your grain in mercy, let your unploughed earth be turned up: for it is time to make search for the Lord, till he comes and sends righteousness on you like rain.
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:11:1 @When Israel was a child he was dear to me; and I took my son out of Egypt.
bbe@Hosea:11:2 @When I sent for them, then they went away from me; they made offerings to the Baals, burning perfumes to images.
bbe@Hosea:11:4 @I made them come after me with the cords of a man, with the bands of love; I was to them as one who took the yoke from off their mouths, putting meat before them.
bbe@Hosea:11:5 @He will go back to the land of Egypt and the Assyrian will be his king, because they would not come back to me.
bbe@Hosea:11:7 @My people are given up to sinning against me; though their voice goes up on high, no one will be lifting them up.
bbe@Hosea:11:8 @How may I give you up, O Ephraim? how may I be your saviour, O Israel? how may I make you like Admah? how may I do to you as I did to Zeboim? My heart is turned in me, it is soft with pity.
bbe@Hosea:11:10 @They will go after the Lord; his cry will be like that of a lion; his cry will be loud, and the children will come from the west, shaking with fear;
bbe@Hosea:11:11 @Shaking with fear like a bird, they will come out of Egypt, like a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will give them rest in their houses, says the Lord
bbe@Hosea:11:12 @The deceit of Ephraim and the false words of Israel are about me on every side....
bbe@Hosea:12:1 @Ephraim's food is the wind, and he goes after the east wind: deceit and destruction are increasing day by day; they make an agreement with Assyria, and take oil into Egypt.
bbe@Hosea:12:2 @The Lord has a cause against Judah, and will give punishment to Jacob for his ways; he will give him the reward of his acts.
bbe@Hosea:12:4 @He had a fight with the angel and overcame him; he made request for grace to him with weeping; he came face to face with him in Beth-el and there his words came to him;
bbe@Hosea:12:5 @Even the Lord, the God of armies; the Lord is his name.
bbe@Hosea:12:6 @So then, come back to your God; keep mercy and right, and be waiting at all times on your God.
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:12:9 @But I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt; I will give you tents for your living-places again as in the days of the holy meeting.
bbe@Hosea:12:10 @My word came to the ears of the prophets and I gave them visions in great number, and by the mouths of the prophets I made use of comparisons.
bbe@Hosea:12:12 @And Jacob went in flight into the field of Aram, and Israel became a servant for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
bbe@Hosea:12:13 @And by a prophet the Lord made Israel come up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was kept safe
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:13:1 @When the words of my law came from Ephraim, he was lifted up in Israel; but when he did evil through the Baal, death overtook 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:13:6 @When I gave them food they were full, and their hearts were full of pride, and they did not keep me in mind.
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:13:10 @Where is your king, that he may be your saviour? and all your rulers, that they may take up your cause? of whom you said, Give me a king and rulers.
bbe@Hosea:13:13 @The pains of a woman in childbirth will come on him: he is an unwise son, for at this time it is not right for him to keep his place when children come to birth.
bbe@Hosea:13:15 @Though he gives fruit among his brothers, an east wind will come, the wind of the Lord coming up from the waste land, and his spring will become dry, his fountain will be without water: it will make waste the store of all the vessels of his desire
bbe@Hosea:13:16 @Samaria will be made waste, for she has gone against her God: they will be cut down by the sword, their little children will be broken on the rocks, their women who are with child will be cut open.
bbe@Hosea:14:1 @O Israel, come back to the Lord your God; for your evil-doing has been the cause of your fall.
bbe@Hosea:14:2 @Take with you words, and come back to the Lord; say to him, Let there be forgiveness for all wrongdoing, so that we may take what is good, and give in payment the fruit of our lips.
bbe@Hosea:14:3 @Assyria will not be our salvation; we will not go on horses; we will not again say to the work of our hands, You are our gods; for in you there is mercy for the child who has no father.
bbe@Hosea:14:6 @His branches will be stretched out, he will be beautiful as the olive-tree and sweet-smelling as Lebanon.
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@Joel:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Joel, the son of Pethuel.
bbe@Joel:1:2 @Give ear to this, you old men, and take note, you people of the land. Has this ever been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
bbe@Joel:1:4 @What the worm did not make a meal of, has been taken by the locust; and what the locust did not take, has been food for the plant-worm; and what the plant-worm did not take, has been food for the field-fly.
bbe@Joel:1:5 @Come out of your sleep, you who are overcome with wine, and give yourselves to weeping; give cries of sorrow, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it has been cut off from your mouths.
bbe@Joel:1:6 @For a nation has come up over my land, strong and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the back teeth of a great lion.
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:1:10 @The fields are wasted, the land has become dry; for the grain is wasted, the new wine is kept back, the oil is poor.
bbe@Joel:1:11 @The farmers are shamed, the workers in the vine-gardens give cries of grief, for the wheat and the barley; for the produce of the fields has come to destruction.
bbe@Joel:1:12 @The vine has become dry and the fig-tree is feeble; the pomegranate and the palm-tree and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field, are dry: because joy has gone from the sons of men.
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:1:15 @Sorrow for the day! for the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Ruler of all it will come.
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:1:18 @What sounds of pain come from the beasts! the herds of cattle are at a loss because there is no grass for them; even the flocks of sheep are no longer to be seen.
bbe@Joel:1:19 @O Lord, my cry goes up to you: for fire has put an end to the grass-lands of the waste, and all the trees of the field are burned with its flame.
bbe@Joel:2:3 @Before them fire sends destruction, and after them flame is burning: the land is like the garden of Eden before them, and after them an unpeopled waste; truly, nothing has been kept safe from them.
bbe@Joel:2:5 @Like the sound of war-carriages they go jumping on the tops of the mountains; like the noise of a flame of fire burning up the grain-stems, like a strong people lined up for the fight.
bbe@Joel:2:6 @At their coming the people are bent with pain: all faces become red together.
bbe@Joel:2:7 @They are running like strong men, they go over the wall like men of war; every man goes straight on his way, their lines are not broken.
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:2:12 @But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:
bbe@Joel:2:13 @Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing, and come back to the Lord your God: for he is full of grace and pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, ready to be turned from his purpose of punishment.
bbe@Joel:2:14 @May it not be that he will again let his purpose be changed and let a blessing come after him, even a meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God?
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:2:16 @Get the people together, make the mass of the people holy, send for the old men, get together the children and babies at the breast: let the newly married man come out of his room and the bride from her tent.
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:2:19 @And the Lord made answer and said to his people, See, I will send you grain and wine and oil in full measure: and I will no longer let you be shamed among the nations:
bbe@Joel:2:20 @I will send the one from the north far away from you, driving him into a dry and waste land, with his front to the sea of the east and his back to the sea of the west, and the smell of him will go up, even his evil smell will go up.
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:2:27 @And you will be certain that I am in Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other: and my people will never be shamed.
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:2:31 @The sun will be made dark and the moon turned to blood, before the great day of the Lord comes, a day to be feared.
bbe@Joel:2:32 @And it will be that whoever makes his prayer to the name of the Lord will be kept safe: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem some will be kept safe, as the Lord has said, and will be among the small band marked out by the Lord.
bbe@Joel:3:1 @For in those days and in that time, when I let the fate of Judah and Jerusalem be changed,
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:3:4 @And further, what are you to me, O Tyre and Zidon and all the circle of Philistia? will you give me back any payment? and if you do, quickly and suddenly I will send it back on your head,
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:3:8 @I will give your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah for a price, and they will give them for a price to the men of Sheba, a nation far off: for the Lord has said it.
bbe@Joel:3:9 @Give this out among the nations; make ready for war: get the strong men awake; let all the men of war come near, let them come up.
bbe@Joel:3:10 @Get your plough-blades hammered into swords, and your vine-knives into spears: let the feeble say, I am strong
bbe@Joel:3:11 @Come quickly, all you nations round about, and get yourselves together there: make your strong ones come down, O Lord.
bbe@Joel:3:12 @Let the nations be awake, and come to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there I will be seated as judge of all the nations round about.
bbe@Joel:3:13 @Put in the blade, for the grain is ready: come, get you down, for the wine-crusher is full, the vessels are overflowing; for great is their evil-doing.
bbe@Joel:3:15 @The sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining.
bbe@Joel:3:18 @And it will come about in that day that the mountains will be dropping sweet wine, and the hills will be flowing with milk, and all the streams of Judah will be flowing with water; and a fountain will come out from the house of the Lord, watering the valley of acacia-trees.
bbe@Joel:3:21 @And I will send punishment for their blood, for which punishment has not been sent, for the Lord is living in Zion.
bbe@Amos:1:1 @The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; what he saw about 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 earth-shock.
bbe@Amos:1:2 @And he said, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.
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:1:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.
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:1:9 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.
bbe@Amos:1:11 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.
bbe@Amos:1:13 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.
bbe@Amos:2:1 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because he had the bones of the king of Edom burned to dust.
bbe@Amos:2:2 @And I will send a fire on Moab, burning up the great houses of Kerioth: and death will come on Moab with noise and outcries and the sound of the horn:
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:2:7 @Crushing the head of the poor, and turning the steps of the gentle out of the way: and a man and his father go in to the same young woman, putting shame on my holy name:
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:2:11 @And some of your sons I made prophets, and some of your young men I made separate for myself. Is it not even so, O children of Israel? says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:2:14 @And flight will be impossible for the quick-footed, and the force of the strong will become feeble, and the man of war will not get away safely:
bbe@Amos:2:16 @And he who is without fear among the fighting men will go in flight without his clothing in that day, says the Lord.
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:3:3 @Is it possible for two to go walking together, if not by agreement?
bbe@Amos:3:5 @Is it possible for a bird to be taken in a net on the earth where no net has been put for him? will the net come up from the earth if it has taken nothing at all?
bbe@Amos:3:6 @If the horn is sounded in the town will the people not be full of fear? will evil come on a town if the Lord has not done it?
bbe@Amos:3:9 @Give out the news in the great houses of Assyria and in the land of Egypt, and say, Come together on the mountains of Samaria, and see what great outcries are there, and what cruel acts are done in it.
bbe@Amos:3:11 @For this reason, says the Lord, an attacker will come, shutting in the land on every side; and your strength will come down and your great houses will be made waste.
bbe@Amos:3:14 @For in the day when I give Israel punishment for his sins, I will send punishment on the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar will be cut off and come down to the earth.
bbe@Amos:3:15 @And I will send destruction on the winter house with the summer house; the ivory houses will be falling down and the great houses will come to an end, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:4:2 @The Lord God has taken an oath by his holy name, that the days are coming when they will take you away with hooks, and the rest of you with fish-hooks.
bbe@Amos:4:4 @Come to Beth-el and do evil; to Gilgal, increasing the number of your sins; come with your offerings every morning and your tenths every three days:
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:4:12 @So this is what I will do to you, O Israel: and because I will do this to you, be ready for a meeting with your God, O Israel.
bbe@Amos:4:13 @For see, he who gave form to the mountains and made the wind, giving knowledge of his purpose to man, who makes the morning dark, and is walking on the high places of the earth: the Lord, the God of armies, is his name.
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:5:5 @Do not be looking for help to Beth-el, and do not go to Gilgal, or make your way to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will certainly be taken prisoner, and Beth-el will come to nothing.
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:5:8 @Go for help to him who makes Orion and the Pleiades, by whom the deep dark is turned into morning, who makes the day black with night; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, sending them out over the face of the earth: the Lord is his name;
bbe@Amos:5:9 @Who sends sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the walled town.
bbe@Amos:5:13 @So the wise will say nothing in that time; for it is an evil time.
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:5:16 @So these are the words of the Lord, the God of armies, the Lord: There will be weeping in all the open spaces; and in all the streets they will say, Sorrow! sorrow! and they will get in the farmer to the weeping, and the makers of sad songs to give cries of grief.
bbe@Amos:5:19 @As if a man, running away from a lion, came face to face with a bear; or went into the house and put his hand on the wall and got a bite from a snake.
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:5:23 @Take away from me the noise of your songs; my ears are shut to the melody of your instruments.
bbe@Amos:5:25 @Did you come to me with offerings of beasts and meal offerings in the waste land for forty years, O Israel?
bbe@Amos:5:27 @And I will send you away as prisoners farther than Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of armies.
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:6:3 @You who put far away the evil day, causing the rule of the violent to come near;
bbe@Amos:6:5 @Making foolish songs to the sound of corded instruments, and designing for themselves instruments of music, like David;
bbe@Amos:6:7 @So now they will go away prisoners with the first of those who are made prisoners, and the loud cry of those who were stretched out will come to an end.
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:6:9 @Then it will come about that if there are still ten men in a house, death will overtake them.
bbe@Amos:6:10 @And when a man's relation, even the one who is responsible for burning his body, lifting him up to take his bones out of the house, says to him who is in the inmost part of the house, Is there still anyone with you? and he says, No; then he will say, Keep quiet, for the name of the Lord may not be named.
bbe@Amos:7:1 @This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw that, when the growth of the late grass was starting, he made locusts; it was the late growth after the king's cutting was done.
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:7:4 @This is what the Lord let me see: and I saw that the Lord God sent for a great fire to be the instrument of his punishment; and, after burning up the great deep, it was about to put an end to the Lord's heritage.
bbe@Amos:7:7 @This is what he let me see: and I saw the Lord stationed by a wall made straight by a weighted line, and he had a weighted line in his hand.
bbe@Amos:7:8 @And the Lord said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A weighted line. Then the Lord said, See, I will let down a weighted line among my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin:
bbe@Amos:7:9 @And the high places of Isaac will be unpeopled, and the holy places of Israel will be made waste; and I will come up against the family of Jeroboam with the sword.
bbe@Amos:7:15 @And the Lord took me from the flock, and the Lord said to me, Go, be a prophet to my people Israel.
bbe@Amos:7:17 @So this is what the Lord has said: Your wife will be a loose woman in the town, and your sons and your daughters will be put to the sword, and your land will be cut up into parts by a line; and you yourself will come to your end in an unclean land, and Israel will certainly be taken away a prisoner out of his land.
bbe@Amos:8:1 @This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw a basket of summer fruit.
bbe@Amos:8:2 @And he said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then the Lord said to me, The end has come to my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin.
bbe@Amos:8:5 @Saying, When will the new moon be gone, so that we may do trade in grain? and the Sabbath, so that we may put out in the market the produce of our fields? making the measure small and the price great, and trading falsely with scales of deceit;
bbe@Amos:8:9 @And it will come about in that day, says the Lord God, that I will make the sun go down in the middle of the day, and I will make the earth dark in daylight:
bbe@Amos:8:10 @Your feasts will be turned into sorrow and all your melody into songs of grief; everyone will be clothed with haircloth, and the hair of every head will be cut; I will make the weeping like that for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.
bbe@Amos:8:11 @See, the days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send times of great need on the land, not need of food or desire for water, but for hearing the words of the Lord.
bbe@Amos:8:13 @In that day the fair virgins and the young men will be feeble from need of water.
bbe@Amos:9:3 @Though they take cover on the top of Carmel, I will go in search of them and get them out; though they keep themselves from my eyes in the bed of the sea, I will give orders to the great snake there and he will give them a bite:
bbe@Amos:9:6 @It is he who makes his rooms in the heaven, basing his arch on the earth; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, and sends them flowing over the face of the earth; the Lord is his name.
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:9:10 @All those sinners among my people will be put to the sword who say, Evil will not overtake us or come face to face with us.
bbe@Amos:9:11 @In that day I will put up the tent of David which has come down, and make good its broken places; and I will put up again his damaged walls, building it up as in the past;
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:9:13 @See, the days will come, says the Lord, when the ploughman will overtake him who is cutting the grain, and the crusher of the grapes him who is planting seed; and sweet wine will be dropping from the mountains, and the hills will be turned into streams of wine.
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:1:4 @Though you go up on high like an eagle, though your house is placed among the stars, I will make you come down from there, says the Lord.
bbe@Obadiah:1:5 @If thieves came, attacking you by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not go on taking till they had enough? if men came cutting your grapes would they take them all?
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:1:8 @Will I not, in that day, says the Lord, take away the wise men out of Edom, and wisdom out of the mountain of Esau?
bbe@Obadiah:1:9 @And your men of war, O Teman, will be overcome with fear, so that every one of them may be cut off from the mountain of Esau.
bbe@Obadiah:1:10 @Because you were the cause of violent death and because of your cruel behaviour to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and will be cut off for ever.
bbe@Obadiah:1:11 @Because you were there watching when men from other lands took away his goods, and strange men came into his doors, and put the fate of Jerusalem to the decision of chance; you were like one of them.
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.![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
